MANUVIKASA has been at the forefront of environment conservation efforts in the Western Ghats and other ecologically sensitive regions of Karnataka. The organization undertakes activities such as lake and tank rejuvenation, afforestation, soil and water conservation, and watershed development. These efforts aim to restore degraded ecosystems, improve groundwater recharge, and preserve biodiversity. By reviving traditional water bodies and promoting sustainable land use practices, MANUVIKASA helps maintain ecological balance and ensures long-term environmental health for the communities that depend on these natural resources.

In addition to direct conservation work, MANUVIKASA actively engages local communities, especially youth and schoolchildren, through awareness programs, tree plantation drives, and environmental education initiatives. These programs build a sense of ownership and responsibility toward nature. The organization also encourages eco-friendly agricultural practices and promotes the use of organic manure to reduce chemical input in farming. Through a combination of grassroots participation and scientific approaches, MANUVIKASA’s conservation work not only protects the environment but also strengthens the resilience of rural livelihoods.
