Awaaz Foundation (meaning "the organisation against sound" – "Awaaz" means "sound" in Urdu) is a charitable trust and non-governmental organisation in Mumbai, India which builds awareness, carries out advocacy, and is involved in educational projects to protect the environment and prevent environmental pollution. It has impacted many important decisions by the government and influenced policy making in important environmental matters in India. The beneficiaries of the Foundation are the citizens of India at large.
Awaaz Foundation was founded on 21 February 2006 by Sumaira Abdulali, a well-known environmentalist, who has exposed many scandals of environmental villainy in India at personal risk. The Foundation has filed several public interest litigations, including demands for strict implementation of noise pollution laws,[1] better functioning of Mumbai's Tree Authority,[2] reducing noise pollution, banning sale of tobacco to minors,[3] efforts to counter the politically sponsored sand mining mafia[4][5][6] and recognition of the biodiverse Sawantwadi-Dodamarg wildlife corridor as an ecologically sensitive area.[7]
