Uttarayan, a 35+ yr old NGO working with people and ecosystem has been steadily building robust ecology across South Bengal. It being part of Pallisree, the largest nursery organisation in West Bengal makes it easier to work on ecological restorations.
We are partnering with WWF West Bengal to create a nursery for elephant fodder and repellant plantation to restore fragmented habitats of North Bengal Terai elephant corridors.
We are also partnering with Rainmatter Foundation for Forest and landscape restoration in a participatory mode and working extensively with WCT in Sundarbans creating a model village in Songaon, Gosaba where we are restoring saline land, doing plantations to create a balance between ecological restoration and human well being.
The NGO’s sole mission and vision has been to intricately work on restoration of fragmented corridors in South Bengal and recreate the rich biodiversity which was at one point a region dedicated to rich flora and fauna but with the advent of population explosion it has got largely fragmented causing man-animal conflict and mass extinction of flora and fauna. This has also broken the connected ecosystem between Jharkhand, Orissa and West Bengal. We also aim to work closely with local stakeholders to empower them and make them part of the whole rejuvenation.
