Five focus areas through which we deliver climate awareness, biodiversity governance and sustainable livelihoods.
Everything we do on the ground in Chhattisgarh flows from five connected commitments — from climate awareness to the rural communities who carry conservation forward.
We bring climate science down to everyday life through conclaves and village workshops — like our Durg Climate Conclave and the Kanker workshop on Chhattisgarh's shifting rainfall and forest fires. We promote climate-resilient communities, low-carbon lifestyles, and Mission LiFE's shift from mindless consumption to mindful utilisation.
We educate communities, schools and institutions about the harm of plastic pollution to ecosystems, wildlife and health — then help them act. We promote eco-friendly alternatives, run zero-plastic workshops, and support simple, practical waste solutions on the ground.
Afforestation and native-species plantation sit at the heart of our environmental preservation work. We restore degraded habitats and champion threatened local species — like Tendu, the ‘Green Gold’ of Chhattisgarh — exploring stump planting, grafting and budding where seed germination is slow.
We conserve and enhance biodiversity by protecting native species and habitats, and by helping villages document their natural wealth in the People's Biodiversity Register (PBR). From medicinal plants to endangered pangolins and rich birdlife, we turn local knowledge into lasting conservation.
Sustainable development cannot happen without active public participation. We build the capacity of BMC members, forest staff and women's self-help groups — on biodiversity, PBR, and Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS) — and open up eco-tourism and home-stay livelihoods so conservation also brings income.
We design climate, biodiversity and plastic-awareness sessions for departments, schools and communities.
