The Problem
Local communities interact with forests every day, and some are heavily dependent on forests for daily needs and livelihoods, making conservation awareness important for them to understand the vital role of wildlife in nature. In landscapes like Cauvery and Malai Mahadeshwara (MM Hills) Wildlife Sanctuaries, awareness and education are important as a lack thereof can result in unintentional situations where both, the people and wildlife are harmed. Threats within this landscape include habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, wild meat consumption, over-extraction of natural resources and vehicular collisions; issues that need to be communicated with the people to promote a better understanding and help foster positive attitudes towards conservation, wildlife and help reduce the influence of superstitions.
It is thus, imperative to bring a shift in people's perceptions to instill a sense of ownership and responsibility for their land and its preservation.
With students and children being the leaders of tomorrow who could potentially reshape the world, we need to maintain a sharp focus on imparting conservation awareness and wildlife education to ensure a holistic and sustained approach to conservation.
Our Approach
We’ll devise and deliver a variety of awareness and educational programmes to promote positive understanding towards wildlife conservation in the Cauvery - MM Hills landscape, while also acquainting them with the wildlife in these protected areas and their ecological roles.
We will use a combination of interactive methodologies such as street plays, visual imagery, videos, and games to engage students and teachers from schools and colleges in nearby villages. We’ll also engage with local leaders and communities, local media personnel, and Karnataka Forest Department staff.
Through Holematthi Nature Information Center, a result of our outreach initiatives established in 2018 in that landscape, we will:
Desired Impact
