Nature has heaped India with so much bounty. Nature has made India one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. But sadly, her natural treasures are being slowly destroyed by poorly enforced laws, a lack of vision and general apathy among her citizens.

MNS's mission is to help spread awareness about India's rich natural heritage and help conserve it through its activities.
