KRAPAVIS is a grass-roots organization concerned chiefly with the community-led revival of village forests, or orans, working in the arid of Thar Desert and semi - arid of Aravali hill bio-regions in Rajasthan. KRAPAVIS mission is clear: the betterment of ecology, agriculture and livestock practices, with a view to the sustainable livelihoods of rural pastoral communities in Rajasthan.

As well as oran restoration, KRAPAVIS is working on agriculture & pastoralism issues, which directly impact on conservation. It works on culturally important varieties of crops, which can grow on even the most marginalized soils without irrigation and with very little external inputs. Further, we work on breed improvement and health for livestock which depend on orans to sustain them. We have also established a Pastoralist Network and the Oran Forum for academics and experts.
