Vineeta also is a founder trustee of the Centre for Action Research on Environment, Science and Society (CARESS), an organization set up to help stem the rapid loss of cultural and natural biodiversity with focus on the revival of traditional values amongst island and mountain people through awareness and integration of community- based livelihoods with conservation.
