Anthropological studies: Partner with forest dwelling and other communities to collate traditional knowledge on established best practices for sustainable utilization of natural resources for development of sustainable livelihoods and women empowerment.

Scientific Research: Develop science based methods for assessment of natural resources through development of field based assessments of biodiversity both within and outside protected areas and enforcement of wildlife protection laws of the nation through use of DNA based methods of wildlife forensics.
