Dakshin is a non-profit organisation that works towards achieving marine conservation outcomes, while supporting livelihoods, social development, and fostering collaboration between government entities and communities to realize these objectives. Drawing from the varied academic background of its four founder-trustees, the organization has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to solving the linked issues of biodiversity loss and livelihood challenges since its inception in 2008.
We partner with Dakshin Foundation as part of LGT Venture Philanthropy’s environment strategy to scale up the protection and regeneration of threatened and destroyed ecosystems. We provide comprehensive support across three areas:

Dakshin hopes that our collective action-driven SeaChange initiative can catalyze both environmental sustainability and community well-being. We are excited to partner with LGT VP on this venture and hope to build a socially just model of transformation for India's coastal, marine and island geographies.
