Timbaktu Collective, The

Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh,

India

The Timbaktu Collective is a registered voluntary organisation that was initiated in 1990, to work for sustainable development in the drought prone Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

The story begins in 1990, when a small group of development activists located themselves in a 32 acre plot of dry, degraded land. They gave it the name Timbaktu (Sarihaddu Rekha in Telugu - where the earth meets the sky). They wanted to find ways to heal and regenerate this ravaged land and create an agro forest habitat.

Slowly over the years not only Timbaktu but also the surrounding hills have greened themselves while insects, birds and animals have reappeared. A small community of volunteers, committed to developmental and ecological regeneration, has settled here.
