Hi, I’m Somnath Ghosh, a dedicated nature-lover from Santiniketan and the founder of Brikkho Foundation. My journey began with a deep connection to nature, feeling the pain of an uprooted plant, hearing the cries of hungry animals, and understanding the desperate call for help from our environment. This profound empathy and the realization that we depend on nature for survival, but nature does not depend on us, inspired me to dedicate my life to environmental conservation.
During the lockdown, I collaborated with other organizations to rescue animals and feed over 100 street dogs for 150 days. My involvement in social activities deepened, leading me to work actively during the AMPHAN cyclone, helping 150 families in Sundarban. These experiences reinforced my commitment to environmental and social causes.
