Impact
Documented,not claimed.
We do not talk about impact. We document the journey. Every figure below carries its date, location, programme and source, and old work is never presented as current.
What has been documented

What we are building
The current chapter.
- · The Last Horizon: Wildlife Filmmaking Challenge, Kaziranga & Tanzania (Oct 2026)
- · The Dawn film, in development around a remote Uttarakhand community
- · Planet Trotter Learning & Training, formalising field skills into courses
- · Butt to Board, seeking support to take the initiative further
What comes next
The next valley.
The Valley of River model (understand, connect, train, generate local revenue) is designed to travel. New locations will be announced only when a community has invited the work and the pilot is funded, and they will be documented here from day one.
How we report.
For every programme, we document the context, the partners, the activities and the measured outcomes. Successes and shortfalls carry the same weight, and reports are published on the Transparency page as they become available.
Planet
Forests, rivers, wetlands and wildlife: ecosystems protected, restored and monitored.
People
Livelihoods, health, education and opportunity for communities in India and beyond.
Knowledge
Research, learning and open documentation that others can build upon.
Resilience
Communities and ecosystems better able to withstand a changing climate.
