The state of Uttarakhand has been witnessing frequent natural disasters over the past few years. In addition to that unsustainable usage of natural resources, unsustainable tourism, and climate change are adversely affecting the fragile mountain ecosystem.
The organization conducts environmental awareness campaigns to sensitize the community about the importance of conserving environmental resources. Meetings with community members are conducted to sensitize them about the existing environmental issues at the local level and different low-cost and ecologically sustainable practices that can be adopted at the individual and community levels. The sessions include social and cultural activities, skits, wall writings, street shows, painting, etc. so as to ensure a better understanding of the concepts. The society conducts tree plantation drives involving school children and the community. Rallies and street plays are organized to sensitize the public about the ill effects of cutting down trees and deforestation.
Undertaking activities to clean the river Ganga is another major initiative we have been in for the last few years. We have been sensitizing the masses on the importance of keeping our water bodies clean and protecting them from further degradation.
