By 2050, nearly 50% of India’s population, about 814 million people, will be living in urban areas. That is more than the entire population of Europe! This rapid urbanisation has led to the need for massive urban infrastructure – housing, water, sanitation, waste management, energy, and transportation. Today, 62 million tons of municipal solid waste is generated in India every year. This is estimated to reach up to 165 million tons by 2030, and 436 million tons by 2050. While urban sewage generation is expected to increase by 65% by 2050, the current sewage treatment […] - [Preserving Nature Makes Smart Economics](https://sankala.org/preserving-nature-makes-smart-economics/): Many of us admire big cats and other wild species for their extraordinary beauty and the richness they add to the world.

It’s a ritual, a comfort, a moment of pause in the middle of chaos. But recently, I discovered that every sip of tea carries with it an untold story—of climate, communities, and countless small growers who are the backbone of India’s tea industry. This story unfolded for me during my recent field visits to North Bengal and Assam for a study to evaluate pesticide management practices in the region.

What struck me then wasn’t just the construction cranes or the shiny new office buildings, but the rugged, and fading green shadow of the Aravallis in the distance. They stood there, ancient and unassuming, like quiet ‘guardians of nature’ watching over a city in a hurry to outgrow itself. Last year, I joined the Sankala Foundation working on the project on Eco-restoration of the Aravalli in Gurugram district.The Aravalli Range originates dating back over 2.5 billion years (Proterozoic era), making them […] - [The Road Ahead: Sustaining India’s Cheetah Conservation Dream](https://sankala.org/the-road-ahead-sustaining-indias-cheetah-conservation-dream/): On 17 September 2022, India achieved a historic milestone with the groundbreaking transcontinental translocation of eight cheetahs from Namibia to Kuno National Park in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

Delhi gets nearly 90% of its water from rivers fed by the glaciers in the Himalayas. Sadly, these glaciers are melting at an unprecedented rate, and in the future threaten the already challenged water system of cities like Delhi. As a researcher in water resource management, I’ve always been interested in exploring ways to optimise, preserve, and internalise water in cities. But realising that the water we rely on is depleting made me rethink my entire approach and pushed me to examine the impact of glacial melting on […] ## Pages - [National Conference on Eco-Restoration of Aravalli Hills – Strengthening the Green Wall Project](https://sankala.org/national-conference-on-eco-restoration-of-aravalli-hills-strengthening-the-green-wall-project/): National Conference on Eco-restoration of the Aravalli Landscape Strengthening the Aravalli Green Wall Register Now 14th January, 2026 from 10:00 AM onwards Gulmohar Hall, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi 0 Days 0 Hours 0 Minutes Supported by Programme  Event Brochure About the Conference Sankala Foundation is organising a national conference to strengthen the links between policy intent and on-ground ecological restoration through structured, multi-stakeholder dialogue to address the increasing ecological degradation of the Aravalli range.
