Bengaluru Environment Trust has taken up issues of public interest, especially environmental issues of lake restoration, urban tree protection, afforestation, pollution prevention, water rights and pollution related livelihood issues over the last 30 years. Through democratic mechanisms, they work on socio-legal campaigns in specific areas – whether sewage, lake preservation, against tree cutting for development and the preservation of important ecological landmarks in and around the city. They work via filing cases, litigations and public campaigns, as well as art and knowledge events in the city.

• BET works with people’s participation on all its campaigns for localised ecological health.
• Operates through a multidisciplinary network of citizens, gained through years of experience
• Enables citizen participation, and supports corporate social responsibility to work in specific areas of citizen importance
