Presenting Sky Islands: a publication and platform based in one of the greatest and most threatened biodiversity hotspots on Earth. Launching in 2025.
Support Sky Islands: A Platform for the Western Ghats
We are evolving! The Kodai Chronicle Trust is now crowdfunding to establish Sky Islands: a digital platform for the Western Ghats.
We have been a hyper-local operation based out of Kodaikanal, producing 150 plus stories from these beautiful hills, for more than 3 years. Help us replicate this formula across the Western Ghats.
To do this, we – volunteers, advisors, well-wishers, specialists – spent the last years brainstorming and trying to raise funding. While we have found some funding, we haven’t been able to meet our targets yet. To launch, we now need your help: to raise 50 lakhs to cover essential operational costs.
* A fundraising director
* Website
* Events
*Professional team to oversee editorial, outreach, and growth
Our plan is to grow from this base and to bring in some income, to make this sustainable, but we need your help to take off.
