Restoring Ecosystems, Renewing Livelihoods
A climate-action and sustainability platform working with communities, institutions and partners across India for ecological restoration, climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods.
A bridge between grassroots action and climate science
YesEarth integrates field implementation, environmental education, technology-enabled monitoring and sustainable livelihood systems into a single, community-first model of climate action.
We work where it matters most — in the watersheds, farms, forests and campuses where ecological restoration and rural development meet.
Connecting people, practice and measurable impact
We link grassroots implementation with climate advisory, digital MRV systems, green-enterprise development and genuine community participation — so every intervention is locally owned and rigorously tracked.
- Field implementation rooted in local communities
- Technology-enabled monitoring, reporting and verification
- Sustainable livelihoods and green enterprise development
- Environmental education and public awareness

Who We Are?
SLRD-YesEarth is the climate action and sustainability foundation focused on ecological restoration, climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and community driven environmental development across India. The initiative is supported by YesEarth Eco Consulting Private Limited
for technical support, sustainability advisory, climate action frameworks, carbon and DMRV systems, and green enterprise development, while the on ground implementation and community execution is carried out by the School of Livelihood and Rural Development (SLRD) through its extensive grassroots network across the Northeast, Central India, and tribal regions. Together, the collaboration aims to build scalable and inclusive models for regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, watershed development, renewable energy, biodiversity conservation, circular economy systems, and climate resilient rural livelihoods.
Community as the Foundation
SLRD–YesEarth collaborates deeply with:
- Tribal communities
- Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs)
- Self-Help Groups (SHGs)
- Village councils and traditional institutions
- Youth collectives and schools
Communities lead on-ground work such as:
- Raising nurseries
- Planting and protecting native trees
- Producing biochar and compost
- Managing waste and biomass collection
- Implementing agroforestry
- Practising regenerative agriculture
Through training, micro-enterprise development, and long-term handholding, communities evolve into owners, protectors, and financial beneficiaries of environmental restoration.
