Dryland ecosystems cover over 40% of the Earth’s surface and support more than 2 billion people, yet they remain among the least understood and most threatened environments on our planet. Danle Centre’s cutting-edge research is filling critical knowledge gaps while developing practical solutions for dryland management and restoration. Our interdisciplinary research approach combines remote sensing…
Sustainable natural resource management isn’t just about having the right technologies or policies—it’s fundamentally about having people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement effective practices. Capacity building sits at the heart of everything we do at Danle Centre, recognizing that lasting change happens when communities become the drivers of their own development. Our…
Building climate resilience in challenging environments requires a comprehensive approach that addresses immediate vulnerabilities while building long-term adaptive capacity. Through our work across diverse challenging areas, Danle Centre has developed proven strategies that communities can implement to become more resilient to climate variability and change. Risk assessment forms the foundation of resilience building. Communities need…
Sustainable development in dryland regions requires specialized approaches that work with the unique characteristics of these environments rather than against them. Based on extensive research and field experience, Danle Centre has identified key strategies that consistently deliver positive outcomes for both communities and ecosystems. Water-centric planning recognizes that water is the limiting factor in most…
