An evening dedicated to the guardians of India’s forests, the protectors of its wildlife and the visionaries shaping the future of conservation — the Eco Warrior Awards returns for its fourth edition.

Over the years, the awards have grown into a distinguished platform celebrating exceptional work in protecting India’s forests, wildlife and fragile ecosystems. What began by recognising individuals working on the ground has evolved into a larger celebration of the people, programmes and ideas driving conservation across the country.

Alongside individuals who have made a meaningful impact through their work, the Eco Warrior Awards 2026 will honour landmark conservation initiatives, including Project Elephant and Project Great Indian Bustard — national efforts that have played an important role in protecting India’s wildlife and ecological heritage.

The evening will bring together forest officers, conservationists, policymakers, experts and changemakers for a celebration of achievement, dialogue and shared purpose. The conclave will provide a platform for meaningful conversations on the future of conservation and the challenges that lie ahead.

The fourth edition is a celebration of those who have chosen to protect, preserve and pass on India’s natural heritage — and of the collective effort behind every conservation success.
