One of the key focus areas of the Trust is environment conservation. The environment
we live in has a specific ecosystem; when habitats are destroyed, biodiversity is
lost, natural resources are depleted. This is caused primarily by human processes.
The tremendous strides we have made in industrialization have had its negative side.
We have lost natural forests, fauna and flora and many natural resource bases.
Pollution is happening all over the word. Hazardous waste discharge has become a
serious threat. Smog, poor air quality is all due to this. Air pollution has an
adverse effect on the ozone layer.
These factors need very serious attention today. If not solved they may lead us
towards various unending questions. Will man senselessly destroy the ecosystems
that support life on this planet? Will he be able to maintain a sustainable earth
and eventually build a new humanity?
