Gayatri has always tried to find ways to lessen her footprint on the planet. Since moving to the Nilgiris five years ago, she has been able to realise these actions more concretely by restoring her corner of the world with native plants and practising ecological restoration to bring people closer to nature. She is passionate about community food growing and the homesteader lifestyle. She believes we need to give nature the space to reclaim her rightful place at the centre of all our actions for a sustainable future.
