Nature is a gift that provides us with beauty, serenity, and a sense of wonder. However, the increasing pollution and littering in our natural landscapes pose a significant threat to our environment and ecosystems. At Upasana Society NGO, we believe in the power of collective action to protect our planet. That’s why we have launched the “Prekking” campaign—an innovative initiative that combines trekking with collecting garbage to preserve and restore the pristine beauty of our natural spaces.

The Challenge

Popular trekking destinations and nature trails often suffer from littering and pollution caused by irresponsible human activities. Trash left behind by visitors not only disrupts the delicate balance of ecosystems but also poses a threat to wildlife and natural habitats. Addressing this challenge is crucial to ensure the sustainability and preservation of our natural environments.

The Vision

The Prekking campaign envisions a future where trekking enthusiasts and nature lovers actively contribute to the conservation of our natural spaces. We aim to foster a sense of responsibility, raise awareness about environmental preservation, and inspire a collective commitment to maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of our trails and scenic spots.

How It Works

The Prekking campaign combines two elements—trekking and collecting garbage—to create a powerful movement for environmental conservation. Here’s how it works:

1. Organized Prekking Events: Upasana Society NGO organizes prekking events at popular trekking destinations and nature trails. These events bring together volunteers, nature enthusiasts, and local communities to engage in a joint effort to clean up the trails while enjoying the natural beauty around them.
2. Garbage Collection: During prekking events, participants are equipped with gloves, trash bags, and other necessary tools. As they trek along the trails, they collect litter and garbage that have accumulated over time. The collected waste is properly segregated and disposed of in an eco-friendly manner.
3. Environmental Education: Along with garbage collection, the Prekking campaign also emphasizes environmental education and awareness. Expert guides and volunteers educate participants about the importance of preserving our natural spaces, the impact of littering, and sustainable practices for outdoor activities.
4. Community Engagement: The campaign extends beyond organized events by actively engaging local communities and stakeholders. We collaborate with authorities, tourism boards, and local organizations to create sustainable waste management systems, promote responsible tourism, and ensure the long-term cleanliness of the trekking trails.
5. Empowerment: The cloth bags utilized in the Prekking campaign are crafted by the same individuals who participate in the Sui Dhaga Aur Kapda campaign, thereby empowering them through consistent employment opportunities.
