The Nature-Culture Fellowship calls for young individuals to explore and document interesting human-wildlife relationships in and around Karnataka.
The fellowship involves documenting art forms, folklore, culture, traditions, beliefs or any positive relationship that humans share with wildlife or nature around them. Please click here for more details and previous fellowship work.
