Our Mission: A Commitment to Conservation
At Ganges Gecko, our journey began with a profound appreciation for India's unparalleled biodiversity, especially its rich and often misunderstood herpetofauna. We are driven by the belief that robust scientific inquiry is the cornerstone of effective conservation. Our mission is to bridge the gap between ecological research and on-the-ground action, safeguarding critical habitats and species for future generations.
We combine rigorous field surveys, cutting-edge habitat assessment techniques, and community engagement to develop sustainable solutions. From the bustling deltas of Bengal to the arid landscapes of Rajasthan, our dedicated team works tirelessly to understand, protect, and restore reptile populations and their ecosystems. We believe in empowering local communities through education, fostering a shared sense of responsibility for India's natural heritage.
