Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution
We engage multiple stakeholders in addressing conservation conflicts by applying conservation conflict transformation (CCT) principles to resolve human-wildlife negative interactions. We successfully designed and implemented the “Snake Savior” program which became an effective initiative to empower communities, conserve king cobras and keep people safe.
Conservation Action
We implement species conservation programs to protect vulnerable habitats and populations of lesser-known extant species in the eastern ghats region by addressing the human-induced threats and assisting the wildlife authorities through a multi-stakeholder engagement approach. We offer resources and services for institutional capacity building and community empowerment.
