Junglescapes

Jungle ScapesRapid deforestation and resultant loss of forest cover is emerging as the single major factor threatening our unique wildlife heritage. The tiger, which has symbolised the conservation movement for the last 35 years in India, is closer to extinction now than ever before. Habitat preservation is a dire need if our wildlife is to be saved from extinction.

Junglescapes is a Non Governmental Organisation that actively promotes wildlife conservation initiatives that are ‘inclusive’ of people living on the fringes of wilderness areas. This in turn fosters healthy inter-dependence between people and animals, creating a model of sustainable wildlife conservation. Furthermore, this model helps preserve the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of our forest dwelling people.

Our vision is to conserve our flora and fauna by empowering tribals and other forest dwellers to demonstrate stewardship of the forests and the wildlife that lie within their sphere of influence. Helping them benefit economically from such responsible behaviour is key in making this vision a reality.
