Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment The last quarter of 2009 seems to have been really productive as far as our work goes - a new office in Sikkim, the number of people we have had the opportunity to share ideas with - starting from the International Canopy Conference to lectures by visiting faculty, and moving on to some interesting workshops and events planned for 2010.
We have also launched our new website, and we invite you to give us feedback on how useful the site is/ can be to you. The site is still under construction and there is a lot of information to be filled in on work in the Himalayas, Sikkim and Assam; policy and community engagement content is still being put together, resource links and related links are still to come on. However, there is enough to comment on, and we look forward to hearing from you.
