INCUBATING THE FUTURE : FORESTS, BIODIVERSITY, INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, EASTERN HIMALAYA

Balipara Foundation began its journey with a deep commitment to protecting Asian elephants, only to uncover a much larger story - one where the fate of forests, wildlife, and people are inseparably linked. This realization led to the evolution of the Naturenomics™ model, a vision where nature and economy thrive together, creating an abundance of well-being for both communities and ecosystems.

Since its launch in 2007, the Foundation has worked to restore landscapes and regenerate forest economies by creating nature-based livelihoods. What started as a conservation effort soon grew into a movement - one that immaculates the forests, revitalizes communities, and builds environmental resilience through nature-driven solutions.

Till date, this journey has restored 5,500 hectares of forest, planted over 6.45 million trees, and empowered 36,000+ people with the skills and resources to lead their own conservation efforts. By early 2025, its regeneration has expanded to 8 million forestry assets, continuing its mission to revive landscapes, strengthen communities, and shape a future where people and nature flourish together in the Eastern Himalaya.
