About Us
OUR STORY
India’s vast ecological richness and diverse life forms are confronting a myriad of challenges. Wildlife faces unprecedented exploitation and is declining rapidly. Life-sustaining ecosystems are losing their integrity due to short-sighted policies driven by an insatiable desire for commercial profits. To address these critical conservation challenges, a group of passionate young individuals from Kolkata, came together and formed HEAL in 2017.
OUR APPROACH
Conservation problems are seldom straightforward, and HEAL’s approach to solving them is anything but ordinary. Embracing a multipronged strategy, we craft interventions that encompass scientific research, communities engagement through transformative programs, wildlife and environmental crime investigations, liaising with enforcement authorities and policymakers, and filing of Public Interest Litigations in pursuit of environmental justice. We believe not only in enforcing laws but also in shaping policies that ensure a sustainable balance between human activities and the preservation of our unique ecosystems.
OUR TEAM
HEAL comprises a dedicated executive team, a vibrant and enterprising field team, and a stellar group of advisory members. Other than this we have a strong volunteer base and member network all across West Bengal.
