National Afforestation and Eco-Development Board

The National Afforestation and Eco-Development Board (NAEB) is an Indian government agency established to promote sustainable forest management and conservation. Its goal is to protect and expand forest areas, restore degraded ecosystems, and support local communities dependent on forests. NAEB funds and coordinates projects that focus on afforestation (planting trees), eco-development (encouraging eco-friendly practices), and environmental conservation. By doing so, it aims to balance ecological, economic, and social interests, ensuring healthy forests for future generations while supporting livelihoods and biodiversity.
