Honoring Harshada Gauns: Goa Forest Department Felicitates AERO's Founder for Barrier-Free Nature Education

A proud moment for Arannya Environment Research Organisation (AERO)! Our Founder President and Head of Education Division, Harshada Gauns, was recognized and felicitated by the Government of Goa's Forest Department for her outstanding contributions to making nature education accessible to all. Her pioneering work—especially for persons with disabilities and promoting barrier-free connections with nature through birds—was beautifully celebrated.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Goa State Disability Commission, Shri Guru Pawaskar (Goa State Commissioner), and Taha Haaziq (Secretary, State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities) for providing the perfect platform at Purple Fest Goa to showcase our efforts. This recognition fuels our vision of facilitating a well-informed society that lives sustainably and closer to nature.
