KCC works towards protecting the fragile mountain ecosystem and the surrounding national park area. With tourism being one of the region’s main attractions, managing waste is a critical challenge. The film showcases KCC’s efforts to collect, manage, and recycle waste, and how these initiatives have contributed to keeping the area cleaner and more sustainable over the years. Green Hub Project is a video fellowship that empowers and engages youth especially from indigenous and marginalized communities and disadvantaged backgrounds in conservation action and social change. Green Hub is supported by Royal Enfield Social Mission, Rohini Nilekani Philanthropy, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and ONGC.
