As the threat of poaching for rhino and tiger increases in the park the teams have been working hard to maintain the all-important on the ground presence in Kaziranga.
Your support has helped equip the forest guards providing 40 pairs of shoes, clothing and fuel to help these brave men carry out their daily patrols. You have also helped to raise awareness of the issues facing tigers by funding 21 ‘Tiger Goes to School’ events and four public awareness drives bringing the total number of students reached to 2,358.
Reducing dependency on poaching through alternative livelihood schemes has also been a key part of the ongoing work being carried out. In the previous three months 12 women were taught to weave, nine families received piglets and 40 families received training on how to goat farm.
These seemingly simple measures are vital to the protection of key wildlife species in and around Kaziranga ensuring that rangers can carry out their anti-poaching patrols and people who live on the fringes of the park understand the value of wildlife and do not resort to poaching by teaching them alternative income generating skills.
Together we are working with local people to ensure a long-term sustainable future for Kaziranga’s tigers and the communities who share their landscape.
Thank you so much for your support.
