Frontline Conservation

Protecting Habitats, Empowering Communities

Through Project SOUL, Hathi Sathi networks, and village campaigns, we actively reduce human-elephant conflict and restore vital forest corridors across Odisha.

Project SOUL

Restoring Elephant Habitats, One Seed Ball at a Time

Salia Bamboo Seed Balls

We gather Salia bamboo seeds, crucial for elephant food security, and transform them into nutrient-rich seed balls ready for planting.

Community-Led Plantation

Local Hathi Sathi volunteers, empowered by SEFT, plant these seed balls across degraded forest areas before the monsoon, ensuring wide dispersal.

Habitat Regeneration

As the bamboo grows, it creates vital food sources for elephants, reducing their need to forage in agricultural lands and mitigating conflict.

Elephant Corridor Studies

Our Hathi Sathi volunteers provide rapid response and early warning systems, preventing human-elephant conflict and ensuring safety for both.

Through Daskathia and Paalla cultural performances, we foster empathy and educate communities on peaceful coexistence with wildlife.

Scientific research, including the 400km Similipal-Satkosia corridor walk, informs our strategies for protecting vital elephant pathways.

We equip local community members with the knowledge and skills for effective elephant monitoring, habitat restoration, and conflict resolution.
