The Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) enables people in rural India to access legal rights to share, self-govern, and conserve common land.

The organization represents landless communities and organizes long-term secure tenure to common land. By establishing formalized rights and using a bottom-up approach to resource management, FES ensures that the commons are governed to support individual livelihoods as well as environmental sustainability.
