Our mission is to protect the natural endowments and human environment and to promote harmony between man and nature through environmental stewardship for the sake of the existence of humanity itself.
Assam, the land of the one-horned rhino, sprawling tea gardens, and mighty Brahmaputra, is a tapestry woven from vibrant ecosystems and diverse communities. Yet, this verdant paradise faces growing environmental challenges, threatening the delicate balance that sustains life in this unique region.
Pollution casts a shadow over Assam's natural beauty. Industrial emissions, agricultural waste, and plastic pollution contaminate the air, water, and soil, posing serious health risks to both humans and wildlife. The mighty Brahmaputra, once a life-giving artery, now carries the burden of pollution, impacting the intricate web of aquatic life.
Ecosystems are under strain. Deforestation, encroachment, and unsustainable practices disrupt the delicate dance of nature. The one-horned rhino, a symbol of Assam's pride, faces habitat loss and poaching threats. Migratory birds find their stopover points vanishing, disrupting their ancient journeys.
Natural hazards like floods and earthquakes pose a constant threat. Climate change intensifies these events, displacing communities and jeopardizing livelihoods. Assam's people, who have always lived in harmony with nature, now find their resilience tested by these environmental upheavals.
But amidst these challenges, hope blooms. Dedicated individuals and communities across Assam are rising to the challenge. Farmers are adopting sustainable practices, communities are protecting their forests, and young minds are championing environmental awareness.
This is where we, SEPER, come in. We are a team of passionate individuals driven by a shared vision: a healthy, thriving Assam where people and nature live in harmony.
We work on multiple fronts:
Research and advocacy: We shed light on environmental issues, providing data-driven solutions and advocating for sustainable policies.
Community engagement: We empower communities through education, awareness programs, and skill-building workshops, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment.
Conservation efforts: We work with local communities to protect endangered species, restore degraded habitats, and promote sustainable resource management.
Disaster preparedness and mitigation: We help communities prepare for and respond to natural hazards, building resilience and reducing vulnerability.
We believe that every action, however small, can make a difference. By joining hands with communities, policymakers, and individuals like you, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that transforms Assam into a model of environmental stewardship.

Ensure clean air, water, and soil for all Assamese.
