Our Focus
The work,in eight parts.
The Foundation's objects under the Companies Act cover eight areas. This page sets out what each one means in practice, and where partners fit in.
01Area 01
Conservation & Biodiversity
Environmental conservation, wildlife protection, biodiversity, ecological restoration, afforestation and reforestation, habitat conservation, forests, rivers, wetlands, water conservation, climate resilience and sustainable resource management.
Our objects cover the protection and restoration of India's forests, rivers, wetlands and wildlife habitats, together with the long, patient work of climate resilience.
Potential programme directions
- Habitat and forest restoration approaches
- Wetland and river ecosystem protection
- Community-led afforestation initiatives

02Area 02
Responsible Tourism
Responsible tourism, eco-tourism, nature-based tourism, cultural and heritage tourism, conservation tourism and community-based adventure.
Travel in India, done carefully, can fund conservation, sustain living heritage and keep income in the villages that host it. This is a philosophy of responsible exploration, not a tourism booking business.
Potential programme directions
- Frameworks for low-impact nature experiences
- Community-based and conservation tourism models
- Cultural and heritage preservation approaches
- Guidelines for responsible exploration
Partnership opportunities
Local communities, tourism boards, conservation bodies and responsible enterprise partners.

Sustainable livelihoods, enterprise and rural development sit at the centre of our objects, with particular attention to women, farmers, tribal communities and young people.
Potential programme directions

Potential programme directions
- Environmental monitoring and data systems
- AI for conservation and impact
- Sustainable and clean technology
