Wildlife Trust of India presents “Bovine from the Brink”, documenting one of our longest projects in Central India , a project aiming to restock the population of Wild Buffalo, the State animal of Chhattisgarh.
We are thankful to the Chhattisgarh Forest Department, Assam Forest Department and our project partner Oracle for their support.
We are also thankful to Nimbu Soda Films for putting together a beautiful film.
This report is the result of WTI’s long term commitment to the Right of Passage for these majestic animals from land acquisition and voluntary relocation to the rehabilitation of families living in the Thirunelli-Kudrakote elephant corridor, a project initiated with the Kerala Government in 2005 with the support of Elephant Family, World Land Trust and IUCN Netherlands.
Right of Passage: Elephant Corridors of India [2nd Edition]
This Conservation Reference Series publication brings together, in its second edition, a comprehensive listing of India’s 101 elephant corridors as listed and mapped by elephant experts in consultation with all state forest departments that are part of the elephant range in the country. Securing these corridors so that elephants and other species can locally migrate between habitats is crucial to their survival.
In conjunction with long-term measures it is essential that rapidly deployable and field-tested solutions to alleviate Human Wildlife Conflict be brought to the forefront. This inaugural volume of the Conservation Action Solutions series does just that, summarising ten successful conflict mitigation measures already employed by WTI, and two new ideas that are worth implementing as pilot projects.
