of the then UNESCAP Executive Secretary in 1983 by a group of journalists dedicated
to protecting environment through creating awareness among people about the need for
halting the onslaughts of environmental degradation threatening to destroy country`s
ecological balance.

organisation carrying out a wide range of activities, which include holding of training
programmes for journalists, seminars and workshops, investigative field trips, publishing
books, reports, newsletters, documentary films and features within its mandate.
