Forest Landscape
Biodiversity forms the very foundation of a healthy ecosystem and forests are at the heart of biodiversity as they include flora, fauna and resources that sustain life. They are actually the hub for thriving ecosystems. They host the enabling pillars of biodiversity in terms of water, plantation, renewable energy, surveillance and livelihoods. Towards strengthening the forests and biodiversity, it is essential to undertake forest range specific actions both inside and outside.
However, increasing pressures from deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and climate change are disrupting these ecosystems, leading to biodiversity loss and weakening ecological balance. Protecting and restoring forests is therefore essential not only for conservation but also for ensuring long-term environmental sustainability. By enhancing habitat quality, protecting native species, and promoting practices that balance ecological and community needs, forests can continue to serve as thriving ecosystems that sustain both nature and people.
Our Approach
We have worked across 56 forests in India, adopting a landscape-based approach that aligns interventions with the distinct needs of core, buffer, and transition zones. In core areas, the focus is on conservation and protection of flora and fauna, with tools such as remote sensing enabling more effective monitoring and management. In buffer zones, our efforts integrate conservation with research and ecological assessments to support informed restoration and strengthen ecosystem health.
In transition areas, the emphasis shifts towards socio-economic development, particularly strengthening livelihoods for forest fringe communities to foster a balanced coexistence between people and nature. By implementing range-wise actions both within and around forest landscapes, we aim to create sustained ecological and community impact. This integrated approach ensures that conservation efforts are reinforced by community participation, enabling long-term resilience of forest ecosystems.
