We have been working steadily to improve the local environment since 2002.
AMBER ECO TRAIL
We have created Amber Eco Trail, the first of its kind in India. Visiting children can learn the following a a beautiful green environment:
- Water conservation
- Wildlife and eco-systems
- Reforestation
- Recycling
- Traditional building techniques
- Sustainable energy
We have planted over 5,000 plants.
WATER CONSERVATION
We have campaigned for water conservation and promoted the revival of the tradional local methods.
- Several step wells have been cleared and desilted
- One major step well has been completely restored
- Volunteers have built over 30 loose stone check dams on the hills surrounding the town
We have created the Amber Water Walk which guides visitors around the step wells, wells, lakes and water channels or Amber.
CLEANLINESS AND SANITATION
We have installed over 30 rubbish bins in public places including the precincts of Amber Palace and campaigned against plastic bags.
As part of our policy to advocate on behalf of Amber, we have persuaded the Government of Rajasthan to:
- Reline and cover two large open drains
- Install a sewer line
- Resurface the main road and surface side roads
- Install pavements along the main road
