About Us

Eco-Watch was established in 1998 by Suresh Heblikar, a noted filmmaker and environmentalist with the objective of spreading the message of environmental conservation through relevant, focused yet diverse programmes and activities. These activities are aimed at building awareness about various environmental issues and concerns among students, organisations, corporate entities and the general community, in a simple, yet effective way. Through these programs, we hope to create an eco-conscious culture which will help protect and improve existing ecological and environmental conditions in both urban and rural areas. The activities include on-going research, thematic campaigns, field studies, surveys and documentation in collaboration with technical associates - inspired and dedicated people who offer us the wealth of their experience and expertise.

We are also partnered with various corporates and government institutes to carry out activities such as the lake restoration projects, green school projects, urban forestry projects and awareness programs.
