A Note on Green Guard

The Green Guard Nature Organization was formed in 1994, primarily as an agency for wildlife conservation. Its stated objectives include wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, environment conservation, environment education & awareness generation, upliftment of forest dwellers, survey, census and documentation of biodiversity, scientific study and analysis, protection of natural habitats including wetlands, grasslands and woodlands and supplementing the efforts of the Forest department.

The organization was registered in the year 1996. In the initial stages the success of the organization was in stopping the trade of wild birds and animals in the areas of its operation. Later it was able to ensure that professions that exploited wildlife, like snake charmers, were not allowed in Nagaon and its neighboring areas. The organization was able to achieve considerable success in its endeavor to promote awareness about wildlife through its various programs during the World Environment Day, Earth Day, Wildlife Week, Wetlands Day, etc., organized for school and college students in the Nagaon and Morigaon districts of Assam.
