Dholpur · Rajasthan

Rooted in Dholpur.
Restoring harmony between people and nature.

A community-driven initiative protecting the Chambal River's ravines and sandstone hills — through education, reforestation, and sustainable livelihoods.

From a Vision to a Community

Conservation that grows from within

Rivera Conservation Society is a community-driven initiative based in Dholpur, where the Chambal River and sandstone hills sustain a rich yet fragile ecosystem. We work to protect biodiversity and promote sustainable livelihoods.

Rooted in local culture and ecology, our mission is to restore harmony between people and nature through education, conservation, and collective action — built with the community, not imposed on it.
