Mission
The Goa Foundation is the most well known of Goa’s environmental action groups and one of the longest surviving, having been created in 1986. Founded by a group of Goan environmentalists each fighting his or her own individual environmental battles, the organisation today commands the respect of judiciary, government and the general public for persisting with its environment agenda for nearly 4 decades.
The work of the Foundation spans different areas and fields, all related in some way or another with the conservation and protection of Goa’s natural environment. At the heart of our work is the shared inheritance paradigm. In essence, we see Goa and its natural resources as a shared inheritance where the state is a trustee on behalf of the people and especially future generations. The intergenerational equity principle asks us to ensure our children and future generations inherit at least as much as we did.
