About Us

Evolution

FORREST – Forest Regeneration and Environmental Sustainability Trust, was born on OCT 2015. It is registered as a not-for-profit organization (NGO). We conceptualized FORREST to strengthen the bond between humans and nature and to create a path for harmonious co-existence.

FORREST is strategically focusing on Aichi Biodiversity targets through work by-

  • Mainstreaming Biodiversity
  • Promoting sustainable use of resources
  • Conservation of habitats through research & action
  • Ecosystem Services Evaluation
  • Knowledge management and capacity building of the stakeholders

VISION

We envision natural ecosystems with thriving floral and faunal diversity, forests inter linked with corridors, clean free flowing rivers, undisturbed natural wetlands and their environmental benefits to one and all.

We are committed to work for large scale habitat restorations for biodiversity conservation, ecosystem connectivity and resilience towards climate change. We believe in collective wisdom. We believe our vision can be attained through action-oriented positive interventions, awareness and advocacy. We aspire to re-establish bond between man and nature.
