It will bring together India’s political, business and corporate leaders, conservationists and celebrities, under one roof for the first time to discuss the future of our planet and our role going forward.

The registration process started on August 4. Says Keertan Adyanthaya, managing director NGC, “Environment is becoming a cause for the entire world. Through this initiative, Nat Geo will bring together leaders of the nation under one roof to discuss their contributions and responsibilities towards a greener planet.

The Eco Heroes campaign is a great platform to identify and know about the work of various people who have realised the solutions for saving the environment and the planet”.
