Nature Conservation in Pench Tiger Reserve Buffer Areas

Our foundation has launched an ambitious project in the buffer areas of Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) that spans Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. This initiative aims to address the critical challenges of human-animal conflict, forest degradation, and the livelihood of local communities. A key element of this project is fostering Nature Conservation Education among both students and community members, which we believe is essential for long-term ecological balance and sustainable development.



Collaborative Conservation Efforts in Pench Buffer Areas

Our Nature Conservation project in the Pench Tiger Reserve buffer areas is a collaborative effort aimed at addressing critical environmental and social challenges. Covering 2000 students and 1000 community members, this initiative seeks to foster a culture of conservation through education and community engagement. By working closely with the Forest Departments of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, Grampanchayats, and local schools, we are building a strong foundation for sustainable development and harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife.
