D'Ering-Dibru Saikhowa Elephant Corridor
The destruction and degradation of natural habitat has led to increased human-elephant conflict in many areas of India. To rectify this, our partner Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) are establishing a protected wildlife corridor, linking the D’ering Wildlife Sanctuary in the state of Arunachal Pradesh with Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in Assam State.
“There can be no conservation without the right conversations,” says WTI, and that’s why local communities have been involved every step of the way on this project. Residents are consulted about the placement of the corridor and will also benefit from part of the area being set aside as a Community Conserved Area (CCA).
WTI are working closely with these communities to restore degraded habitat, provide sustainable livelihood support, and build capacity of management authorities. Human-elephant conflict is also being addressed further through new solar-powered electric fences and other measures.
