Our Work PROGRAMS

If the wild heritage of earth is to survive, indigenous humans who live with and adjacent to wild places must be deeply engaged in the conversation about conservation. GMFER’s programs engage the voices of the indigenous at the intersection of modernity, history and culture.

“We can love ourselves by loving the earth.”
Wangari Maathai

A Mini Forest in Faridabad, India Magical jewel: from garbage dump to a vibrant green mini forest.

The idea to turn a garbage dump into a thriving mini forest was formed when Samarrth walked by an informal landfill in Faridabad in 2017.

Our Vision

We believe in justice for animals and humans alike; a global grass roots movement that amplifies the voices of indigenous peoples is at the heart of both justice for the human and the non-human. Our vision aims at building human communities that see non-human communities as deserving of justice.
