The case of Corbett: Indian forests are running out of water
Extreme water scarcity is disrupting the forest ecosystem, imperilling India’s wildlife. Here’s how solar-powered pumps can help.
Dr Sarita Subramaniam is a dental surgeon and wildlife enthusiast. She co-founded Earth Brigade Foundation, a nonprofit whose primary focus is wildlife conservation. Earth Brigade Foundation facilitates drinking water supply in Indian forests through solar pump installations. The organisation also works on women empowerment and assists local forest communities. Sarita’s efforts to address human–animal conflict are informed by her concern for the decimation of wild habitats by human activities.
