Turning knowledge into lasting impact for nature
At BNHS, science guides every step we take for conservation. Our research deepens understanding — of species, habitats and the challenges they face — while our field projects put that knowledge into action. From wetlands to grasslands, data becomes direction, and insight leads to impact. For us, studying nature and protecting it are not separate goals, but part of the same journey.

Wetlands Programmes
With a multi-layered approach, the programme is designed towards understanding wetland biodiversity and its conservation in India.
Mangrove Conservation
The project began in November 2014 aiming to restore mangroves in a 100 ha area around Jaigad creek, where waterbody had dried up in mudflats owing to the impact of Kasari-Satkondi Kharland bund.
Policy and Advocacy
BNHS research has shaped national and state-level conservation policies through evidence-based recommendations on protected area management, biodiversity legislation, and species recovery programmes in partnership with government agencies and global conservation networks.
