A major component of our Eco-DRR project in India takes place in the states of Odisha, Bihar, and Gujarat. Our project focuses on the restoration and protection of wetlands, rejuvenation of village ponds, and waterbody conservation. The project empowers Community-based Organisations to protect and improve wetlands ecosystems and water management with the goal of integrating Eco-DRR action plans into local government development plans and programmes.
