The protection and conservation of wildlife needs our immediate attention. There's so much beauty yet to be explored in the untapped Eastern Ghats. The Eastern Ghats are older than the Himalayas and the Western Ghats. They are home to 2,500 species of flowering plants, about 290 bird species and nearly 4,000 insect species. There are loads still to be explored. Our goal is to help assess the presence of tigers, co-predators and prey, understand their conservation requirements and act accordingly.
Increasing awareness amongst students and the general public through programs like Ek Prithvi, Eco trails, Wild Wisdom Quiz and WWF Echo Volunteers. Keeping the forests trash free, teaching humans who live beside forests to maintain their boundaries and not let their cattle graze in the forest areas are some of the key points of focus. Campaigns like - Give Up to Give back & Connect to Earth urges citizens, educational institutions and corporations to sign a pledge with WWF-India on minimizing one's wasteful consumption that the institution will work towards in their premises.
