1. “ “ “The evidence is in: global warming has caused severe floods, droughts, and storms. More violent and frequent storms, once merely a prediction of climate models, are now a matter of observation.”

13. Welcome to

14. WE ARE NOT JUST ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION …

15. …WE ARE DIFFERENT

17. (R)Evolution is an Organization started by a group of individuals working towards Climate Change Mitigation measures, Wildlife Conservation, Social Service through various platforms. We basically intend to provide opportunities for people who have so long awaited to work for a cause but couldn't come across an opportunity.

18. We believe in providing the best and promoting the cause for the benefit of the society and mankind. We have teamed up with various institutions working towards a common cause. We want to make the best out of what we have. We believe, “You have the power today, to change tomorrow!”

19. AREAS WE ARE WORKING ON • Climate Change Mitigation (CCM) • Wildlife Conservation and Awareness (WCA) • Social Service (SC)

20. Climate change mitigation Climate change mitigation encompasses the actions being taken, and those that have been proposed, to limit the magnitude and/or rate of long-term global warming induced climate change. Climate change mitigation generally involves reductions in human led change factors.

21. Examples of mitigation • Switching to low-carbon energy sources, such as renewable and nuclear energy, • Expanding forests and other "sinks" to remove greater amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. • Energy efficiency can also play a major role, for example, through improving the efficiency of equipment.

22. Wildlife Conservation Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting endangered plant and animal species and their habitats. Among the goals of wildlife conservation are to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans. Many nations have government agencies dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent nonprofit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes

23. Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. An endangered species is defined as a population of a living being that is at the danger of becoming extinct because of several reasons. Either they are few in number or are threatened by the varying environmental or predation parameters.

24. Social service Through Social service we seek to improve the quality of life and well-being of an individual, group, or community by intervening through research, policy, community organizing, direct practice, and teaching on behalf of those afflicted with poverty or any real or perceived social injustices and violations of their human right.  We want to do our bit in helping the society, mankind, the poor and destitute.
