Human health and well-being of people in the hills, is dependent on many factors, and is also an important outcome of effective ecosystem management. Forests, rivers, fields, animals and people’s lives are bound in an intricate web of relationship. We work with an ethos conscious of the interactions between people, society and ecosystems in the context of the sociocultural and traditional knowledge of people in the Himalaya. Status of health especially amongst the women, children and the poor marginalized communities

is inadequate. We work to address this with a holistic and trans-disciplinary approach.
