Across two different settings, I have worked with Yashada on behalf of my conservation NGO. During Yashada's appointment with Tata Power, what began as an adversarial relationship was smoothed thanks to the diplomacy and oversight brought to the table. This allowed a constructive dialogue to take place and funding for a large (for my NGO) project was the ultimate reward, along with a shift in mindset at the huge corporate. More recently, my NGO turned to Yashada for advice on planning strategy. This consultation was very successful, with avenues for growth we had not considered and introduction to a new network of contributors among the benefits we gained. Thank you Yashada and best wishes for your future works. I am sure there will be many who will appreciate the organisational skills you bring alongside your conservation biology background.
