NGOs making efforts to save environment

The International Day of the Tropics celebrates the diverse tropical region and its potential, while addressing challenges like climate change, deforestation, and urbanization. Tropical nations face obstacles in achieving sustainable development, with higher poverty and undernourishment rates compared to the rest of the world. The day raises awareness about these challenges and the role of tropical countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The Tropics are rich in mangrove forests, species, and renewable water resources but also suffer from greater biodiversity loss.

Here are the top 5 NGOs involved in protecting the environment in India:

1. Tropical Research & Development Centre (TRDC): TRDC aims to preserve natural resources through education, awareness, and conservation. They have projects focused on addressing environmental degradation, climate change, and the revitalization of water resources.

2. SankalpTaru Foundation: This e-NGO promotes tree plantation across India using digital platforms. They use innovative technologies like GPS-tagging to track progress. Their initiatives include rural development, cleaner schools, tree plantation in cities, and community-based land protection.

3. Chintan Environmental Research and Action Group: Chintan promotes sustainable consumption, waste management, and raises awareness about air pollution. They manage solid and electronic waste, recycle materials, and work towards providing resources for vulnerable sections of society.

4. Janmitram Kalyan Samiti: This NGO focuses on community development and has implemented programs like Wadi Development and Watershed Program. They create orchards for tribal people, work on soil and water conservation, and provide capacity building and training.

5. Gram Chetna Kendra: To address water scarcity in rural areas of Rajasthan, this NGO builds tanks and pools for rainwater harvesting. They promote sanitation, construct public toilets, and educate farmers on efficient resource consumption and sustainable farming practices.
