Where are the pastoral communities in and around Bengaluru? 

How do they participate in the everyday practices of the metropolis? 

How does this unseen ecosystem enhance urban living?

We invite you to participate in this crowdsourced research initiative which aims to identify pastoral communities of Bengaluru, document their relationships with the city, trace their grazing routes, map their history, find their connections with other communities in farming and livestock breeding, and develop narratives about the evolving relationship between the land, animals, people and produce, in a metropolis of India. 

This initiative is co-curated with the Living Lightly Utsav 2025 and the Centre for Pastoralism.
