Ecology & Environment

NEWS believes that one ecosystem is one planet. Humans as well as every other organism are dependent on their environment. Every living and non-living components of an ecosystem from plants to microbes to man is linked together in a complicated web. Environment has now become a concern worldwide. An ever-expanding population, warning level of pollution, massive land degradation, large scale deforestation and a number of other anthropogenic causes lead to an overall degradation of environment. A prime concern of NEWS is to conserve the environment we survive in.
