ANET

The Andaman Nicobar Environment Team (ANET) is a multidisciplinary research hub and environmental conservation and education centre in the Andaman Islands, owned and managed by Dakshin Foundation.

ANET facilitates work that focuses on understanding and responding to the islands’ complex social-ecological systems, and on generating knowledge that informs effective conservation strategies.

Ocean solutions

As interest in the Indian Ocean as an economic frontier grows, new opportunities are emerging across blue economy sectors, carbon markets and coastal development. These shifts also raise critical questions around sustainability, resource security and equity. Ocean Solutions brings together scientific evidence, local realities and collaboration across communities, governments and sectors to develop practical solutions to these challenges.

Common ground

Common Ground is a multi-organisational initiative that leverages India’s ecological commons to address the linked crises of rural livelihoods, climate, and equity. It strengthens environmental governance and rural livelihoods across India by building grassroots capacity, supporting inclusive rural economies, and enabling collaboration across organisations and institutions.

As a member of Common Ground, Dakshin’s work is centred around human-wildlife conflict resolution, tenure security and systems thinking for social and environmental transformation.
