Welcome to the News section of the ENVIS Centre on NGOs, Parliament & Media.

As an ENVIS Centre of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), WWF-India compiles a variety of environment-related news and featured items in the print media. This information, which is available for reference in the WWF-India ENVIS Centre, is extensively used by media professionals and researchers for obtaining background information on important current and emerging environmental issues.

News, articles and media reports on various environmental issues have been collected, compiled and prepared as ‘Trends Report’ on the basis of major subjects of concern. The analysis focuses on a gamut of environmental issues as well as a plethora of relevant news articles throwing light on questions raised by environmentalists. The basic idea of this Report is to highlight the role of print media in environmental protection.

Media plays the role of a socializing agent in terms of environmental protection. It is a fact that public actions and attitudes toward environmental protection are largely shaped and influenced by the media. The media serves as one of the key channels for generating awareness about environmental conservation and related issues.

The Centre has categorized the myriad of environmental issues into 18 (eighteen) different subject heads and the news reports have been categorized into the various subject heads.
