Green Hub x Royal Enfield Conservation Grants 2026-2027
About Green Hub x Royal Enfield Conservation Grants
The Green Hub-Royal Enfield Conservation Grants are for youth from indigenous communities and Green Hub alumni, who are engaged in or would like to start community-based conservation projects in northeast India. 
 
The grant supports projects for a duration of 1-1.5 years. The amount depends on the needs of the project and can range from INR 1.5 lakhs to INR 5 lakhs. The projects can be individual or group efforts.

Community-based conservation is inclusive of work on local and regional biodiversity; preservation or documentation of traditional knowledge; sustainable livelihood options such as agriculture, ecotourism, weaving and other traditional crafts; conservation or nature education and outreach through workshops, books, museums, and other means. We encourage projects to include and focus on aspects of community engagement, benefiting the people and the area.​
 
The Green Hub x Royal Enfield Conservation Grants 2026 is supported by the CSR initiative of Royal Enfield.

"Doing wildlife, getting cooperation from the forest department and others, and working with communities for conservation... what I am hoping is that you are more widespread, not just in northeast India but in more states in India..."
