Every hand on the mountain matters.

Protecting the Eastern Himalaya is work we do together — with members who stand behind us, volunteers who show up, and supporters who keep our camps and plantations going.

Why it matters

Conservation that's led by community.

The hills are protected best by the people who live in them. When you join FOSEP, you strengthen a network of communities, schools, and Gram Panchayats working to keep the Himalaya healthy for the next generation. There are three ways to step in.
