Sanctuary Scan
The Mud on Boots Project is designed to empower people working on wildlife protection on the ground across India. Over a two-year period, carefully selected Project Leaders receive a monetary grant and other strategic support from the Sanctuary team led by Cara Tejpal, assisted by Maitreyee Mujumdar. Designed to be flexible, Sanctuary’s support is curated and customised to each project. It is on the shoulders of such ‘invisible’ efforts that the entire wildlife conservation edifice stands.
