| In memory of Harini |
The Foundation has been established in memory of Harini, a 3 1/2 year old girl who died in a tragic road accident on 21 June 1991 in Bombay at the Five-Gardens Bus Stand, on her way back from her fourth day at the J. B. Vachcha High School. She was killed in a freak accident when a out-of-control taxi cab driven by an underage driver without a driving license climbed the pavement and hit Harini inside a bus-stand. The police released the driver on the same evening on bail. The offence has not been compounded as yet on June 2003.

The website of the Harini Nature Conservation Foundation
The world has grown small. Very very small. The problems concerning nature conservation have grown enormous. Very very very enormous. The paradox is that there is more than enough information out there in the world to help individuals and organisations everywhere to protect and conserve nature. The HNCF website - falcon@harini, as we call it, - is meant to help provide support and direction to access information about nature conservation. Information is power, and accessing it at the moment that you need it, is to be powerful.
falcon@harini hopes to help individuals and organisations to use the internet, position a smart and alert network of individuals and organisations, understand how to use the information without all the clutter, provide clear and concise and specific interventions without having to reinvent the wheel.
The main index of the website provides a detailed table of topics, concepts and perspectives that falcon@harini hopes to build up. We do not know as yet how it would add up. The final result and output is something we do not dare to define today. There is more than the world out there.

A major contribution of falcon@harini would be to scope all the data mining software available on the web, list and link all the search facilities available on the net. Developing a major platform based on the search engines and data mining software available would help individuals and organisations access information specific to their requirements for nature conservation in India and South Asia.
A second level of networking would be to rank and /or map organisations and individuals in India, South Asia and other nations having a specific interest in nature conservation, equity, ecologically sustainable development, development and administration in India.
Another initiative in enabling information documentation for nature
conservation would be to provide support to the various individuals and
organisations who are unable to access or utilise the internet to the best
of their requirements.
