Dear donors,
We are beyond excited to share some fantastic news with you! Our revolutionary AI-based EleSense device is making a monumental impact, saving the lives of hundreds of elephants. With its state-of-the-art technology, EleSense uses four sensors to monitor elephant patterns, movements, temperature, and height, achieving an astonishing 100% detection accuracy.
Did you know?
In the past six months alone, we've averted 95 train collisions with elephants, a feat made possible by your unwavering support.
Our camera traps have captured breathtaking moments: a mother elephant and her baby safely crossing train tracks, and a majestic bull elephant avoiding danger. These powerful images showcase the life-saving impact of the EleSense project.
In collaboration with grassroots champions BioMates and the Solitary Nature and Animal Protection (SNAP) Foundation, we are gearing up to install 60 more EleSense devices in northern West Bengal. This region, including the Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary and Buxa Tiger Reserve, has faced heartbreaking incidents where elephants have been tragically hit and killed by speeding trains. In Chapramari, a pregnant elephant was struck and dragged 200 meters before she took her last breath. In Buxa, a herd including a newborn baby was hit and killed, underscoring the urgent need for our intervention.
And here's where you come in – We need your help to keep this momentum going. We've raised $39,000 so far, and we have $36,000 left to reach our goal. Your generous contributions will help us protect these magnificent creatures, who are vital eco-engineers, climate heroes, and cultural treasures.
Join us in making a difference. Your donation, no matter the size, will play a crucial role in ensuring the survival and safety of elephants in India. Together, we can create a world where these incredible animals thrive. We couldn't have prevented 95+ train collisions with elephants without your support. Look at what we have done collectively!!
On behalf of our dynamic Board of Directors and our beloved elephants, Thank You for being a part of this extraordinary journey.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sangita
