Nature Conservation Society (NCS) in Palamau, Jharkhand was born in 1976. It is one of the oldest Non Governmental Organizations in its space in India. Founded by a group of forest officials, educationists and other like-minded people to assist the then newly-formed Palamau Tiger Reserve in Jharkhand, NCS was initiated to reduce poaching, man versus animal conflict and harmonizing the interests of forest-dwelling tribes/forest dependent people. It also endeavoured to work towards government’s intent for ecological preservation and sustainability.
As an Organisation, our mission is to promote sustainable environmental protection and natural resource management through a scientific and sustainable approach. We strive to mitigate the pressure on biodiversity and allied repercussions of the same across both flora and fauna as well as the entire ecosystem; We make an effort to create a difference by involving youth, students, teachers and local communities. “Forest and Species Conservation” has grown from being the “preservation, management, and care of natural and cultural resources” to being “the keeping or protecting of resources from change, loss, or damage”. Conservation at grass root level has become the need of the hour as our forests with its abundant resources are fast disappearing. We focus on this aspect of conservation with grass root level diagnosis, impacta analysis and then affect the required effort to mitigate the adverse impact of the environment. From “Sustainable Ecological Development” for the geographical location in the State of Jharkhand, the society has crossed into Bihar, Orissa and is now inching towards a pan-India consulting practice for conservation and ecologically balanced developmental methods. Its activities have expanded into areas including Biodiversity conservation, Watershed Management, Natural Resource Management, Environmental awareness and protection and Tribal welfare.
Today the Organisation pioneers its contribution in the field of not just Wildlife Conservation but also Sustainable Ecological development with grass root level education and implementation effort.
