Forest Voices of India supports Indian charities that uphold an ancient respect for nature – extending a hand to charities that provide children’s education; economic empowerment for women; lifting up of the several thousand years of the art and culture of India; restoration of forest groves, support for tribal artists, rescue and care for dogs, cats, and other street animals in distress (including an extensive spay/neuter/rabies vaccination program) and rehabilitation and release for orphaned or injured wildlife. This far-reaching variety of meaningful causes are all linked together and are all one — they are ways to renew the earth, to give life back to and lift up the people, animals, and places of the earth – starting with India, the home of such a long tradition of kindness and respect for the earth herself and all those that belong to her.
