Turning environmental challenges into opportunity for communities
Ecological restoration, climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods, built with communities, not for them.
SLRD-YesEarth is a climate action and sustainability foundation working on ecological restoration, climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods and community driven environmental development across India. Together we build scalable, inclusive models for regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, watershed development, renewable energy, biodiversity conservation and circular economy systems.
One movement, three specialised roles
Advisory, technology and grassroots execution are held by three partners that fit together, so every intervention is designed, built and delivered end to end.
School of Livelihood & Rural Development
Community execution through an extensive grassroots network across the Northeast, Central India and tribal regions.
- Nurseries and native tree planting
- Biochar, compost and biomass
- Regenerative agriculture and agroforestry
YesEarth Eco Consulting
Technical and climate finance expertise that turns community projects into carbon generating assets.
- Carbon project design and dMRV

- Registration under recognised standards
Vistaar Agrotech
Affordable, durable equipment that makes environmental programmes scalable and economically viable.

Communities become owners, protectors and beneficiaries
The people closest to the land lead the work
We collaborate deeply with tribal communities, Farmer Producer Organisations, Self Help Groups, village councils and youth collectives. Through training, micro enterprise development and long term handholding, they evolve from participants into owners of environmental restoration.
Who leads
- Tribal communities
- FPOs and SHGs
- Village councils
- Youth collectives and schools
What they do
- Raise and protect nurseries
- Produce biochar and compost
- Manage biomass and waste
- Practise regenerative agriculture
Every tree, every acre, every kilogram of biochar is aligned with global climate markets.
