Summary: India-Canada Environment Facility (ICEF) was set up under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Governments of India and Canada with the mandate to enhance the capacity of Indian organizations to undertake environmentally-sustainable development and management of land, water and energy resources. ICEF provides support for programmes that specifically address the inter-relationship between poverty and environmental degradation. It seeks to create public awareness about environmental issues, and encourages community participation and management of these resources. The ICEF projects made special efforts to spread environmental awareness about various locally relevant issues all over the country. The focus has been on Environment Education projects for school children with the aim to make them more environmentally aware and sensitive towards environmental problems. ICEF in partnership with prominent Indian NGOs, undertook the mission of environment. education at a national level. In this effort various Government departments, schools (both) rural and urban) and community groups joined hands in taking a lead role to implement these projects. The aim was to tackle the local environmental problems through low-cost and simple local solutions. As ICEF's tenure comes to an end in December 2007, this booklet (part of a series) attempts to share ICEF's work in the field of environment conservation over the last decade. Our project partners in Environmental Education: WWF-India, New Delhi, BVIEER, Pune, and CEE, New Delhi-made a vital contribution. While WWF-India effectively addressed local environmental issues with a focus on rural school education programme, BVIEER worked hard to build the environmental capacity of school students, frontline forest staff and the communities neighboring national parks in the States of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The CEE project has addressed the problem of water conservation and waste management in cooperation with 60 schools in the National Capital Region.
