    What they do

    Gorakhpur Environmental Action Group (GEAG) was formed in 1975 by students, researchers and faculty of Gorakhpur University's botany department, inspired by the Chipko movement, and was formally registered as a society in 1983 (registration number 907/1983-1984). It works on climate-resilient agriculture, urban climate resilience, disaster risk reduction and wetlands conservation, focused on small and marginal farmers and the urban poor. GEAG operates mainly in Uttar Pradesh with additional work in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.
