Celebrating 25 Years of Impact
25 Years of Action
A collective approach to strengthening the Vulture Safe Zone in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve (NBR), South India.
25 years of making changes, Arulagam has worked to protect biodiversity, conserve endangered species—especially vultures—and empower indigenous and rural communities through sustainable livelihoods, tribal rights advocacy, agroecological farming, and farmer-focused innovations. From advocating against toxic veterinary drugs like diclofenac and ketoprofen to restoring ecosystems and strengthening community resilience, Arulagam continues to build a future where people and nature thrive together.) that voice of voiceless.

A Voice for the Voiceless, championing wildlife and less-privileged communities affected by environmental threats.
The organization’s mission focuses on advocating environment friendly policies, equitable access to education, species conservation, and sustainable livelihood development by involving community. Arulagam endeavors to enable welfare of tribals and local communities and to strengthen their role in conserving flora and fauna – especially belonging to endangered, neglected, less charismatic and lesser-known species.
Arulagam envisions ecologically sustainable communities with a focus on nature conservation and endangered species, ensuring equitable access to education, skill development, and livelihoods. Through community-driven initiatives, Arulagam promotes environmental stewardship, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable living practices for future generations.
Arulagam is committed to nature conservation, focusing on endangered species and ecosystems. We promote scientific approaches and agroecological practices, support capacity building, and empower communities through development initiatives that address health, sanitation, governance, housing rights, and public policies—fostering inclusive, community-led transformation.
