What we do
Conservation of Elephant Corridors
We focus on understanding and preserving functional connectivity between landscapes for elephants and other wildlife.
Research on Landscape Connectivity
We study how linear infrastructure (like roads, railways, and canals) impacts wildlife movement and habitat connectivity.
Community Engagement (HEC)
We actively work with local communities who have historically protected wildlife and are key to its future conservation.
Tribal Upliftment
We support tribal communities through initiatives aimed at improving livelihoods and promoting cultural heritage.
Education in Rural Areas
We are committed to enhancing education and opportunities for children in rural and forest-edge communities.
Standing Strong in Times of Crisis
We extend timely aid to communities impacted by natural calamities and emergencies, helping rebuild lives with compassion and resilience.
Strengthening our community-first approach
Our 2025 outreach initiatives continue to strengthen lives across forest-edge and tribal communities through education support, clean water access, essential supplies, conservation awareness, and timely relief interventions.
