Fueling Change: Helping Forest Communities with Gujarat Boilers
In the dense forests of the Cauvery-MM Hills Wildlife Sanctuaries in Karnataka, wildlife species and local communities depend on natural resources like firewood for survival!
In support of wildlife conservation and habitats, we save kilotons of firewood and carbon emissions by distributing Gujarat Boilers (GBs) and LPG to the families of Karnataka.
Understanding Wildlife Corridors
Once, India's landscape boasted vast stretches of interconnected forests. Today, human activities like habitat degradation and development have fragmented these forests, breaking up crucial Wildlife Corridors.
These corridors act as vital bridges for large wildlife populations, including Tigers (Panthera tigris), Leopards (Panthera pardus), Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), and more such magnificent creatures, allowing them to move through larger jungles, stay healthy, and contribute to the ecosystem.
This film explores the fundamentals of wildlife corridors and showcases our efforts to protect these essential passages in Karnataka.
