Timely funding of grants especially in developing countries like India is crucial to bridge the gap from lab to land. In a fast-changing world, where the research has moved from "climate change" to "adaptations and mitigations" ecological research grants provide an excellent opportunity for scientists to conduct research on the natural world, advancing our understanding of the complex interactions between living organisms and their environments.
The novelties help in creating effective conservation strategies and management plans thus protecting biodiversity, conserving endangered species, and taking timely action for holistic and sustainable development.
One such great initiative is taken by the Gujarat Ecology Society Under HASMUKH SHAH MEMORIAL AWARDS.
