nisargasutra.
Nisargasutra is the very basis of living and co-existence of all the living beings on this planet. This principle is true for the entire biosphere and applicable across every sphere. But time, increasing population and differing needs have played a major role to affect the perfectly balanced natural cycles, thus to face a delicate situation of imbalance within the existing ecosystems. It is an alarming situation that is threatening nature and thereby tilting the scales of natural harmony to endanger all the forms of life. And it needs to be studied with right and positive approach.

Mr Shailesh Saraf
(Founder and Bio EntrepreneuR)
It is not my credentials as a Surface Coating Technologist, enabled me to undertake this effort, it was my passion. I am a student of nature and the science behind it. I grew up in cities nestled by the Western Ghats, this 150 million year old wonder(older than Himalayan mountain range) has raised thousands of species over the years against all odd. My goal is to gather the best minds in science and technology to study this ecosystem, and to create a resource that is freely accessible to everyone
