A living tapestry of heritage and ecology
CCC is more than an organization, it is a movement to preserve and celebrate the ecological and cultural soul of Coorg. We are a living archive, dedicated to immersive storytelling that fosters a deep reverence for this land and its people.
Through our work, we aim to not only document vanishing traditions and fragile ecosystems but also to inspire action, inviting you to become a custodian of Coorg's legacy.
Dedicated to fostering a deep connection
The Coorg Conservation Collective is dedicated to fostering a deep, reverent connection between people, land, and heritage through immersive storytelling, community engagement, and action-driven conservation.
We strive to be a living archive of Coorg's ecological and cultural soul, ensuring that the wisdom of the past guides a sustainable future. We envision a Coorg where its rich traditions thrive in harmony with its natural beauty, where every voice is heard, and every story is cherished.
“We are here to weave stories that connect, to honor the land and its people. For in that connection lies the path to preservation.”
