Remaking One Health: Decolonial Approaches to Street Dogs and Rabies in India

This multidisciplinary and international project investigates the historical, everyday, institutional, psycho-social, and ecological aspects of rabies and the people-dog-health interface in India. Through the lens of a One Health paradigm that recognises the interconnected nature of humans, animals and our shared environment, the research is delivering new insights into effective, ethical, and socio-culturally appropriate ways of caring for street dogs and preventing rabies. 

The CfCC team is part of a large international collaboration that includes researchers from India, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Founding universities include the University of Edinburgh, Liverpool University, the University of Western Australia, and UTS.

Through this project, the CfCC has established partnerships with the Nature Conservation Foundation India, Socratus, Ambedkar University, the Humane Society International India, Welfare of Stray Dogs, Help in Suffering, and Working for Animals.

Foragecaster: Agricultural remote sensing for sustainable agricultural landscapes

In this large collaborative project, researchers are developing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning forecasting tools to help farmers predict and improve pasture quality, resilience, and biodiversity in the face of climate change.

Digital transformation paves the way for transformative approaches to challenging norms. In a conservation context, this includes the unnecessary exclusion of wildlife, the establishment of intensive monocultures, and unsustainable management practices. Using farmers’ own data, our goal is to show that more inclusive approaches to farm and environmental sustainability are better for people, the environment, and non-human beings who coexist in food production landscapes.
