PROGRAMMES
Three ecosystems. One shared purpose.
Creating spaces where people, wildlife, knowledge, and place continue to thrive together.
01
IMPLEMENTATION
Turning ideas into place-based action.
Implementation is where relationships become action.
Through community participation, local governance engagement, coexistence initiatives, and place-based conservation efforts, we work alongside communities and institutions to address ecological challenges rooted in specific landscapes.
PROGRAMME
VOICE OF THE WESTERN GHATS
A platform for participation, advocacy, environmental learning, and community engagement across the Western Ghats.
Supporting conversations, leadership, storytelling, and action emerging from the region itself.
PROJECT
PROJECT P.E.A.C.E.
People-Elephant Action for Coexistence & Ecology.
Human-elephant conflict is one of the most visible challenges across the Western Ghats.
Project P.E.A.C.E. creates spaces where communities, forest departments, local governance institutions, and other stakeholders can collectively explore pathways toward coexistence.
Rather than focusing only on conflict, the project focuses on relationships, participation, and locally rooted solutions.
02
NON-ZERO
Learning beyond walls.
Non-Zero is BCEF's learning ecosystem.
Built on the belief that human development and ecological wellbeing are deeply connected, Non-Zero creates spaces where learning emerges from relationships with place, community, and nature.
PROGRAMME
NON-ZERO EDUCATIONAL SPACE
An evolving place-based learning environment rooted in ecology, creativity, indigenous knowledge, and community participation.
Designed as a living learning ecosystem rather than a conventional educational institution.
PROJECT
NON-ZERO AFTER SCHOOL SPACE
Creating opportunities for children and young people to explore ecology, storytelling, creativity, local knowledge, and community engagement beyond conventional classroom settings.
PROJECT
FOREST FESTIVAL
An immersive environmental learning gathering bringing together young people, educators, artists, practitioners, community members, and forest dwellers.
A space to learn with forests rather than simply about them.
Future Vision:
- Forest Campus
- Bamboo Learning Spaces
- Community Learning Residencies
- Ecological Learning Journeys
03
CIRCULA
Resources that strengthen relationships.
Meaningful work requires meaningful stewardship.
Circula is BCEF's ecosystem for participation, transparency, resource mobilisation, and long-term sustainability.
It explores how resources can move through communities and initiatives in ways that are transparent, accountable, and aligned with ecological values.
PROGRAMME
CIRCULA
A framework for receiving, stewarding, and circulating resources back into mission-driven work.
Making participation accessible while maintaining transparency and accountability.
PROJECT
THE 100
A recurring membership programme supporting coexistence spaces, ecological learning, community knowledge systems, storytelling, and place-based conservation.
Built on a simple idea:
Small contributions, sustained collectively, can create long-term possibilities.
PROJECT
MICRO-DONOR NETWORK
Enabling individuals to directly participate in sustaining grassroots ecological work through recurring contributions and community-supported funding.
Different ecosystems. Different approaches. One shared commitment.
Co-creating coexistence between people, wildlife, knowledge, and place.
