Health & Hygiene

We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for both people and planet. The COVID-19 pandemic was an eye-opener for us, exposing the incredible need there is among the people we work with. As a conservation organization we are in a unique position to address these needs, especially for vulnerable, forest-fringe communities. Through various surveys conducted in our operational areas, we have gained insights into the health concerns, the physical and psychological effects of living in conflict-prone regions. Based on these findings, we prioritize strengthening local public health services to benefit communities.

Our efforts include:

– Organizing medical camps for locals, forest department staff and their families, 

– Providing essential routine medical care in terms of medication, services and equipment. For example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully established isolation centers in select villages and donated oxygen concentrators and medications to local primary health centers (PHCs), with the support of our dedicated partners and donors.

– Conducting awareness & sensitization programs to address health and hygiene concerns as well as environment education programs.

By focusing on health and well-being, we aim to create a safer and healthier environment for both people and wildlife, fostering resilience in communities that face unique challenges
