Pelag Foundation Participates in Springshed Management & Climate Adaptation Workshop
The Director of Pelag Foundation, along with Ms. Shruti Kumari and Ms. Tarannum, proudly participated in the "Springshed Management & Climate Adaptation" one-day workshop held on 06 August 2026 at Vikas Bhawan Sabhagar, CDO Office, Almora. The workshop brought together government departments, technical experts, NGOs, and community representatives to discuss scientific and community-based approaches for spring conservation and climate resilience.
Pelag Foundation was honoured to be invited by the District Administration, Almora and SARRA (Spring and River Rejuvenation Authority), Uttarakhand, in its capacity as a Member of the District Level Executive Committee (DLEC), SARRA, Almora.
During the peer interaction session, Pelag Foundation shared its ongoing work on community-led springshed development, Forest Panchayat Micro Planning, and the importance of integrating local communities, Forest Panchayats, Gram Panchayats, and Biodiversity Management Committees into spring conservation initiatives. We also presented our vision of working closely with Forest Panchayats to promote sustainable springshed management and strengthen climate-resilient water governance in the Himalayan region. The workshop included a dedicated NGO interaction session on mapping and monitoring techniques using GPS, GIS, and participatory mapping, followed by discussions on community-based climate adaptation.
The workshop was highly informative and productive, providing an excellent platform to discuss ground-level challenges, practical solutions, and future collaboration among government agencies, research institutions, NGOs, and community organizations.
Pelag Foundation sincerely thanks the District Administration, Almora, SARRA, Tata Trusts, CHIRAG, HIMOTTHAN, Sanjeevani, and all participating organizations for creating this valuable platform for learning, collaboration, and collective action towards protecting the Himalayan springs.
Together, let us strengthen community participation and build a water-secure, climate-resilient Himalaya for future generations.
