Towards a healthy and vibrant India for nature and people

With 8% of the Earth’s biodiversity, India is home to spectacular and diverse natural places, and unique wildlife. India recognizes the need to protect its natural heritage for its intrinsic values, and the well-being of its people. We are working to support India’s vision of “developing without destruction” by finding science-led solutions for challenges at the interface of conservation and development.
