Frauke Quader is a German-born Hyderabadi environmental activist better known for her contribution espousing the cause of saving rock formations [4] in the twin cities [5] of Hyderabad and Secunderabad on the Deccan Plateau, especially in promoting the rocks as a heritage. [6]

Frauke's interest in saving the rockscapes of Hyderabad along with fellow enthusiasts resulted in the formation of Society to Save Rocks , a registered Society [7] which serves as a platform for many like-minded enthusiasts to gather and find ways and means [4] to protect the rock heritage. [2]
