Environment conservation

Most developing nations like India had been considerably lucky in inheriting vast natural resources, including a wide variety of flora and fauna. In fact, in the early twentieth century, India had vast geographical areas that were forest covered with iconic fauna like the Bengal Tiger and Indian Peafowl. Humanity, from prehistoric times, primarily rural in residence, has coexisted in perfect symbiosis with its environment until the impact of mass-scale industrialisation and unplanned urbanisation that has occurred over the past decades under the over-encompassing banner of economic development. This has resulted in rapid deforestation and chronic neglect of the natural environment which has resulted in the extinction of and endangerment of many species. Without a major, rapid, and sustained effort to expand electricity generation, the rural and urban poor continue to meet their energy needs through unsustainable destruction of forests and fuelwood consumption, which is environmentally unsustainable and a major source of air pollution. Centre for Social Change and Development (CSCD) would endeavour to use social and communication technology to promote awareness of biodiversity and environmental well-being by promoting and sharing relevant and culturally acceptable practices and raising awareness.
