Siddharth Rao has worked as an ecologist and conservationist for the last 18 years, and is on a mission to protect and revive forgotten savannah ecosystems.

Remarkably, her conservation efforts are driven by more than 200 local women, whom she calls the 'Hargila Army'.

One of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) registered programmes in Kerala for June 5, the drive witnessed large scale planting of trees, cleaning of the nearby catchment area and forested stretch as well as a collection of about 15 sacks of plastic waste.

A company that grows its own vegetables, not something you come across everyday, right?

From revamping ancient conservation practices to recycling waste water for drinking, these innovations can help ensure that the future generations are not devoid of the elixir of life. #SaveWater #Innovation

Besides building a natural habitat for sparrows, Inderpal and his family have also been working towards environment conservation and protection. They have planted around 800 trees in their colonies, and on the outskirts of the city.
