Since 2006

A community-driven organization for nature

प्रकृति से जुड़ाव • जैव विविधता संरक्षण • पर्यावरण शिक्षा • जनभागीदारी

Who We Are

Our work, in short

Manav Organization is a community-driven organization working to build a deeper relationship between people and nature. Our work focuses on bird conservation, biodiversity, environmental education, nature awareness, wildlife conservation, heritage and community participation.

हमारा उद्देश्य केवल पर्यावरण के बारे में जागरूकता फैलाना नहीं, बल्कि लोगों को प्रकृति संरक्षण की प्रक्रिया में सक्रिय सहभागी बनाना है।

Nature conservation is not the responsibility of a few. It is a responsibility we all share.

Our Vision

A Society That Lives in Harmony With Nature

हम ऐसी संवेदनशील और जिम्मेदार समाज व्यवस्था की कल्पना करते हैं जिसमें विकास और प्रकृति के बीच संतुलन हो तथा प्रत्येक नागरिक प्राकृतिक विरासत के संरक्षण में अपनी भूमिका को समझे।

What We Stand For

Our Values

These principles guide every programme, partnership and decision at Manav Organization.

  • Community First

    Conservation succeeds when local people lead it. We work with communities, not just for them.

  • Science & Sensibility

    Our actions are grounded in observation, documentation and respect for local ecological knowledge.

  • Education as Roots

    Lasting change begins with children and youth who understand and care for the natural world.

  • Inclusion

    We welcome everyone — students, educators, volunteers, institutions and citizens — into the conservation movement.

  • Heritage & Nature Together

    Natural and cultural heritage are inseparable. Protecting one strengthens the other.

  • Shared Responsibility

    Nature conservation is not the work of a few. It is a responsibility we all carry.
