Programs

The Environmentalist Foundation International (EFI) is dedicated to conservation projects that benefit wildlife and its habitat. EFI focuses on achieving tangible outcomes through its various environmental initiatives.  

Major Interventions:

Lake Restoration: The focus is to revitalize and preserve the water bodies. The initiatives often involve a range of activities to improve the ecological health of lakes, including cleaning, de-silting, and habitat restoration. The NGO works to restore the balance of these aquatic ecosystems, supporting the diverse life they sustain. EFI's efforts in this area contribute to water conservation and the overall well-being of the surrounding environment. One such project is "Fence It," EFI's flagship Lake Restoration Initiative.  

Afforestation: EFI actively engages in afforestation projects to increase green cover and promote reforestation. These initiatives involve planting saplings and developing afforestation sites. Such projects play a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity, combating deforestation, and mitigating the effects of climate change. The efforts contribute to creating healthier ecosystems and promoting environmental sustainability.  

Eco-Parks and Sponge Parks Development: EFI is also involved in developing eco-parks and sponge parks by creating spaces that serve ecological functions while raising environmental awareness. Eco-parks provide habitats for various species and offer opportunities for environmental education and recreation. Sponge parks are designed to improve water management and promote groundwater recharge.  

Environmental Awareness Workshops and Events: These programs aim to educate and engage the community in sustainable practices. Activities often include upcycling, environmental games, and other interactive methods to promote environmental stewardship. These outreach efforts seek to foster a greater understanding of environmental issues and encourage active participation in conservation efforts.
