Environmental Camps for Conservation Awareness (ECCA) is a leading organization in the sector of social mobilization and community development. Established in July 1987 as a non-profit, non-political, and non-governmental organization, ECCA is registered with the Government of Nepal, District Administration Office, Kathmandu, and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council, Kathmandu. ECCA creates a platform for youths in various sectors and boasts a large network of local volunteers, known as counsellors. Through the implementation of various programs, ECCA aims to improve the quality of life by promoting the wise use of available local resources and the application of alternative and renewable technologies.

ECCA's constitution allows trained members to vote for a policy-making body, ensuring active participation in its governance. The organization pioneered the concept of children's nature clubs in Nepal in 1992 and was the first NGO to establish a paper-recycling unit, named Pap Again, in 1994 with the goal of producing recycled paper.

ECCA's mission is to be a professional volunteer organization dedicated to securing a sound ecological future. It aims to create a platform for youths and school children to lead positive change in environmental conservation and community development, and to support the development of conservation-related entrepreneurship.
