A project initiated on 2007, shut down after three months due to Central policy imposing restrictions on charitable trusts such as WWF-India from earning profit through exhibitions, once again resurrected in the same old garage at Moolavilakom, Thiruvananthapuram Kerala is the only State that proudly hosts such a gallery.
One wall of the gallery has well illustrated volumes of reference books of WWF publications including Marine Turtles along the Indian Coast, For a Living Ganga, Handbook on Entrepreneurship, How to start eco-friendly small-scale business etc.
The collections in display includes lamp shades, coffee mugs, pen-stands made of bamboo and jute, corporate neck ties marked by tiny pandas, elephants etc., desk and wall calendars, diaries and notebooks emblazoned with the photos of the Giant Panda, jute and cloth bags. The State office of WWF may also tie up with NGOs in Kerala to diversify the exhibits that manufactures eco-friendly items.
