South Asian Forum for Environment-SAFE works at the
science-society interface towards sustainable environment development and
poverty alleviation through community based interventions in the Indian eco region.
SAFE catalyzes climate adaptive conservation efforts in the
grassroots through sustainable agricultural practices and wise-use of natural
resources. It strongly advocates community governance of the natural capital
and restoration of 'nature services' by endorsing commons 'Biorights'- a neo-economic
conservation paradigm.
With its proactive presence in four south Asian nations of
the Indian ecoregion, SAFE has the mandate to address climate change
implications on smallholders and rural commons through technology cooperation,
capacity building and decision support research.
SAFE has been accredited as a standing member to the United
Nation Environment Assemble by UNEP. It enjoys consultative status with ECOSOC
(UN), Natural Resource Management working group of Planning Commission of India
and CSO wing of the Global Environmental Facility of the World Bank.
SAFE has been awarded the Earthcare Award in 2011, UN-HABITAT award in 2013, Light House Academy 2104, Best Performance Award 2014 NABARD, Development Market Place Award 2014 by World Bank, IYF Award 2013, Asia Green Award 2003 and many more.
