GEER Foundation

The GEER Foundation (Gujarat Ecological Education and Research Foundation) is a non-governmental organisation based in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, India. It operates with the support of the Government of Gujarat and is registered as a trust with the Charity Registrar. The foundation was established in 1982. Its name is often misunderstood: the word 'GEER' in the foundation's name is not related to the Gir village or the Gir sanctuary; it is simply a short form of the organisation's full name, Gujarat Ecological Education and Research Foundation. The foundation works on numerous projects related to wildlife conservation and surveys, and it publishes materials aimed at raising public awareness about wildlife. As a government-supported trust, its chairman is the Chief Minister of Gujarat by virtue of that office. The foundation's activities focus on ecological education, research, and conservation within Gujarat.
