Registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI 1860, the Foundation for Ecological Security was set up in 2001 to reinforce the massive and critical task of ecological restoration in the country. The crux of our efforts lies in locating forests and other natural resources within the prevailing economic, social, and ecological dynamics in rural landscapes and intertwining principles of conservation and local self-governance for the protection of natural surroundings and improvement in the living conditions of the poor. By working on systemic issues that can bring about a multiplier change, we strive for a future where local communities determine and move towards desirable land use that is based on principles of conservation and social justice.wwf
