Vision
To promote ecological balance and create harmony between human and nature
Mission
The Mission is to build the capacity of the most vulnerable communities to ensure the sustainable use of nature resources, provide eco-friendly means living, reduce the adverse effects of climate change, and improve their socio-economic condition while maintaining ecological balance.
Solution
Rural reconstruction and ecosystem restoration will be the key solutions for the overall development and conservation of the marginal coastal community and vulnerable environment. This can be achieved by planting and regenerating mangroves; raising awareness in collaboration with local people in terms of biodiversity conservation; coastal protection; promotion of mangrove-based alternative livelihoods, entrepreneurship development; clean solar energy equipment and services; and climate change adaptaion and migration. Addressing the aforementioned issues for social and environmental development would be ensured by establishing multi-stakeholder collaborations and stable finances.

Participate Nature and Environment Education Program
Education serves as the main means of advancing knowledge through academic study, training, and travel. Through staying close to the largest mangrove forest in the world, one can learn about the Sundarbans coastal ecosystem, biodiversity, risks, and challenges as well as the neighboring people's culture, the effects of climate change, the vulnerability of communities to disaster, locally led adaptation, and other topics. Therefore, we have been running our Communication, Education, Participation, and Awareness-raising (CEPA) Program on a regular basis since 2013. Using our created educational games, booklets, posters, etc., we are motivating, educating, and developing the leadership of students and citizens in both urban and rural areas by running school programs, awareness-raising programs, and nature education programs as well as on-site training programs, study tours, field trips, and other activities. Hence, people will gather knowledge about nature by staying close to it, and understanding its current state and activities will provide new possibilities in the future.
