... an introduction
Srushti Paryavaran Mandal
• Incepted in Nov, 2005, Srushti has grown from a
modest 11 member organisation to a strong 90
member front today.
• Activities include wildlife conservation, habitat
conservation, water management and issues
pertaining to nature and environment.
• To control pollution in cities, based on public
awareness with their active participation. Safeguard
our future and to achieve sustainable development.
Our Activities
• The top most threat to Indian forests in recent past is
deforestation i.e. conversion of forest land for non
forest activity purpose. (e.g. mining, dams, industry)
• Adopted Bor WLS for over all conservation through
water & landscape management and socio-economic
development of nearby areas.
• Reforestation drives with the help of schools from
forest fringes. Control grazing, save traditional
migratory corridors etc.
Our Activities
• Regular patrolling drives to check and curb illegal
activities in Protected areas.
• Initiate contacts and imbibe environmental friendly
practices in villages.
• Construction of under/over ground mud dams to
check soil erosion
and revive water
table
Our Activities
• Patrolling of areas with tiger presence outside PA and
assisting habitat development in those areas.
• Revival of natural water holes in & around protected
area, to avoid agricultural losses and minimise mananimal conflicts.
Our Struggle
• Srushti has been instrumental in taking a cognizance
of Forest land diversion and habitat destruction. One
instance being that we took a lead role to voice
against a coal block being allotted near a tiger
reserve.
Our Struggle
• Thoughtless infrastructural development in India has
destroyed the traditional migratory corridors of
animals. We have initiated a small study to
understand and find a via solution to this problem.
Because we believe that “forest saved is forest
earned.”

Current @ Srushti
Currently Srushti is undertaking a project of Rewilding
3 tigers cubs found near Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.
With a significant rise in occurrences of abandoned or
orphaned cubs around this region, we at Srushti feel
that conservation in real sense is when we are able to
release such animals back into their natural habitat.
Three 2 month old cubs
found near Junona Village
!
Three more juvenile
found near Ganeshpipri Village
Appeal @ Srushti
We believe conservation has become need of the
hour and people must come together to shoulder
this responsibility.
Srushti seeks your support and active participation
in all its endeavors.
We invite everyone to join hands and together help
ensure survival of our forests and wildlife.
