Awareness & Capacity Building: Preventing Train-Elephant Collisions (Sep 2023 – Feb 2024)

 Workshops were held with forest and railway officials to identify elephant crossing points along Kharagpur-Adra and Kharagpur-Tata tracks. Supported by WTI, WBFD, and NRCC, the initiative aims to reduce elephant-train collisions. 

Our Projects

Elephant Capture, Translocation & Radio-Collaring (Oct 2022 – Ongoing)

 Two male elephants were captured in South Bengal and translocated to Buxa Tiger Reserve, North Bengal. Both were fitted with radio collars and are being monitored as they roam across forest areas including Chilapata, Cooch Behar, and western Assam. 

Habitat Assessment & Elephant Management Plan, Keonjhar, Odisha (Jul 2022 – Mar 2024)

 The study covers Barbil and Champua ranges, highlighting critical forest blocks for elephant use. Findings stress safeguarding habitats and ensuring connectivity with Mayurbhanj and Saranda Forests for long-term conservation. 

Gangetic River Dolphin Conservation, South West Bengal (Oct 2024 – Mar 2025)

Site-specific surveys are being conducted in Hooghly, Rupnarayan, and Damodar rivers. The project includes stakeholder engagement, monitoring dolphin sightings and threats, and developing a conservation action plan.
