Stripes and Green Earth [SAGE] is the brainchild of a wildlife enthusiast couple who wanted to contribute and help the nature and its living beings. Stripes denotes the Tiger, the tiger is the top predator in the food chain, or a keystone species, keystone species hold the food web together by controlling the population of primary and secondary consumers. Without the keystone species, the primary and secondary consumers would grow out of control and eat all the producers. Green Earth denotes the environment and nature around us and specially the jungles. Also, SAGE as means a noble person and is a healthy herb …. we wanted it to represent it in harmony with the wild, nature and mankind.

The seed of SAGE was sowed in the central India landscapes and later the sapling started to grow in Kolkata along with few of like-minded professionals from various walks of life who all had one thing in common to Save the nature and its living beings. SAGE believes that the best conservationist are the people living in the fringes of the jungles and by standing by their side will help in conserving the habitat and the environment surrounding these people. With this objective we started our work in the largest delta in earth the Indian side of Sundarbans and South Bengal to improve the socio-economic conditions of the people living in these areas.

Also, various projects on environment – specially plantations, delivering health services to people living in the fringes of jungles, mitigating human animal conflicts, sensitizing rural communities living alongside jungles to the means by which conflict can be reduced and coexistence promoted through various awareness programs, promoting environmentally sustainable livelihoods and supporting the establishment of critical tiger corridor and habitats.
