Protecting nature, with the people who live closest to it.
Sewarth Foundation works alongside Gram Sabhas, tribal communities and schools to document, restore and safeguard the biodiversity of Maharashtra under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002.
Six pillars of community-led conservation.
Every action is co-designed with the village. We bring training, documentation and resources — communities bring the knowledge, the land and the long-term care.
People's Biodiversity Registers
Documenting local flora, fauna, crops, and indigenous knowledge village-by-village under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002.
Biodiversity Management Committees
Training and capacity-building of 200+ BMCs to take ownership of local biological resources and benefit-sharing.
Native Plantation Drives
Fruit, medicinal and indigenous species planted with long-term maintenance plans led by Gram Sabhas.
Species & Habitat Documentation
Field surveys of birds, pollinators, wetlands and sacred groves with photo records and seasonal monitoring.
Seed & Traditional Crop Revival
Protecting native landraces, millets, and farmer seed systems through community seed banks.
Biodiversity Act Awareness
Workshops in Gram Sabhas and schools on rights, duties and the legal framework protecting India's biodiversity.
Where we work.
Our biodiversity work spans tribal belts of Wardha, Nagpur, Gadchiroli and neighbouring districts. We partner with Forest Department staff, panchayats, schools and women's self-help groups to make conservation a daily practice — not a one-day event.
- Wardha district — BMC training & PBR preparation
- Nagpur district — Tribal area plantation & awareness
- Gadchiroli — Sacred grove and seed bank documentation
- Schools — Eco-clubs and Biodiversity Day programs
