The Bombay Natural History Society is today the largest non-government
organisation (NGO) in the Indian subcontinent engaged in nature conservation
research. In the 125 years of its existence, its commitment has been, and
continues to be, the conservation of India's natural wealth, protection of the
environment and sustainable use of natural resources for a balanced and
healthy development for future generations. The Society's guiding principle
has always been that conservation must be based on scientific research - a
tradition exemplified by its late president, Dr. Sálim Ali.
Altruism, is the key word for the success and growth of the Society. This
vital element, as fund support or non-financial support, be it from its
members, government, institutions or corporate bodies, has been responsible
for the survival of the Society. To ensure the continuity of its contribution
to the cause of conservation, the BNHS invites support from all those who care
to make a better world for all living beings, including mankind. |
