Who we are
Sharanya Earth Foundation is an independent, registered charitable public trust functioning in and around Pondicherry and neighbouring Tamil Nadu. Our purpose is to honour and promote the sanctity of all life forms and to work towards their conservation and alleviation of their suffering. The areas of operation can be classified into two broad categories – animal welfare & ecological conservation. Ingrained in all our activities is our strong belief in sustainable practices in harmony with nature and the planet we inhabit.
