About Us
Nature Classrooms works with teachers, schools and educators to connect meaningful, age-appropriate and locally-culturally relevant nature learning with the EVS curriculum being taught in teaching-learning spaces in India. Nature Classrooms started as an initiative within Nature Conservation Foundation’s Education and Public Engagement Programme in November 2018.​
​Since April 2025, Nature Classrooms works in collaboration with the Youth for Conservation Action Network (YouCAN) to effectively advance our individual and collective goals for nature education and conservation.
