Bali Nature and Wildlife Conservation Society is a grass roots conservation NGO, established by the people of Bali village in the Sunderbans with the objective of safeguarding the unique ecosystems and diverse wildlife of the region.

Since its conception the NGO has been playing a pioneering role in mitigating the man-tiger conflict, reducing pressure on the park and its ecosystems and augmenting alternative and sustainable livelihood for the local communities.
