SCOPE was formed and got active in 1988 in order to rehabilitate the Malir valley in Karachi. SCOPE has been striving hard to restore
the greenbelt in the Malir valley. With technical guidance from researchers at the Geography Department of Karachi University, a
research study was conducted. The study focused on the social, economical, ecological and physical impacts of sand and gravel
excavation by comparing excavated areas with non-mining areas. The study revealed that the Malir is rapidly becoming non-
productive, owing to soil loss and lack of ground water. Then SCOPE organized local people to stop sand and gravel excavation from
the area. The government also imposed a strict ban on sand and gravel mining from specified areas of the Malir river-bed. Strict
vigilance is now imposed to stop sand and gravel mining from the river- bed and from the greenbelt in the Malir valley.
SCOPE, in the backdrop of this, was registered under Societies Registration Act 1860, as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in
1990. SCOPE is also enlisted by Income Tax Department as an NGO, under Income Tax Ordinance 2001, and donations received by it
are tax exempted.
