Wetland Restoration

WBR icon
Wetlands serve as barometers of climate resilience and their current situation is dire - neglected and reduced to conduits for waste. Since wetland systems traverse entire districts, wetland-anchored climate action strategies address not only water security but also sustainable agriculture, effective solid and liquid waste management, biodiversity, non-motorized mobility, heritage conservation, public health etc. At EcoSattva we develop transdisciplinary wetland restoration plans and establish innovative partnerships for execution. Our award-winning Kham River Restoration Mission is leading the way in locally-led climate action.

Green Cover Management

GCM icon
Our cities towns and villages are reeling under the effects of climate change. A direct consequence of the lack of trees and green cover in human habitats, is the heat island effect, as well as a lack of recreational spaces for children, youth and the elderly. We build and deliver solutions to address this problem.

Solid Waste Management

SWM icon
Around the world waste generation rates are rising. Unmanaged waste is showing up at our street corners, in our water bodies, in the ocean - everywhere. Several global, national, state schemes and programs have been designed to tackle this challenge and targets have been set. But action needs to be local, in every city, town, village. We partner with local self government bodies to design effective and sustainable waste management systems through processes like route-mapping and optimization, staff capacity building and training, resident awareness, establishing and operating Material Recovery Facilities, informal sector integration etc.

We drew inspiration from CRT's processes for on-boarding stakeholders with a visioning workshop, training and route planning for municipal teams, and running a targeted awareness campaign for residents. I remember being struck by the entrepreneurialism and creativity that they have shown in reforming the municipal solid waste management process of Aurangabad.

The Zone 6 MRF is truly a model and demonstrates effective dry-waste management. It should be replicated, and all residents and corporators alike should see that having such a facility is a boon to their ward and the city. This center not only manages waste but is also helping to spread awareness about waste reduction, my congratulations to all partners involved -, Bajaj Auto and CARPE and my colleagues from the AMC, and each of the Safai Karamcharis who have made this possible.

Bajaj has always been at the forefront in performing its social responsibilities and with the same commitment we work with team CARPE. We are impressed with the way the team has transformed the way municipal waste is managed. We appreciate the way they have enhanced livelihoods of waste pickers and how they have enabled the sanitation team to be the flag bearers of waste management.

I brought CRT on-board to transform the SWM situation on-ground, which they did very fast and effectively. And as a bonus, we cracked the Swachh Survekshan in the most rewarding and sustainable manner.
