Alternative Livelihood

Our Alternative Livelihood Program is dedicated to creating a peaceful coexistence between people and wildlife. We believe that by improving community livelihoods, we can effectively address the pressing issues of human-wildlife conflicts, resource use conflicts, poaching, and habitat degradation.

We understand that sustainable conservation efforts are intrinsically linked to the well-being of local communities. Our initiatives focus on enhancing livelihoods through sustainable practices, providing alternative income sources, and promoting eco-friendly resource use. By improving the quality of life for community members, we reduce the reliance on activities that harm wildlife and their habitats.

Empowering Communities Through Collaborative Efforts

We believe in teamwork and the power of collaboration. In partnership with Wild Survivors, we’re on a mission to enhance community livelihoods through a special beekeeping project. This project provides income for locals and brings them closer to nature. By working together, we’re tackling both economic, wildlife, and environmental conservation challenges head-on.

Beekeeping Project

The beekeeping project with Wild Survivors ensures economic stability for families while promoting wildlife and environmental stewardship. By training local residents in beekeeping techniques and providing them with the necessary resources, we are creating a new wave of entrepreneurs who are dedicated to sustainable practices. The benefits of this project are multifaceted: from producing high-quality honey to enhancing pollination and biodiversity in the region, the impact is profound and far-reaching.

Why
Beekeeping?

Raising Awareness and Promoting Conservation

By empowering communities with knowledge and resources, we aim to create a culture of conservation that transcends generations.

Addressing Human-Wildlife Conflicts

We address this by creating buffer zones with beehive fences and chill fences, encouraging wildlife-friendly farming. These solutions not only protect wildlife but also secure the livelihoods of people living near these areas, fostering a harmonious coexistence.

Improving Community Livelihoods

By fostering beekeeping practices, we enhance local livelihoods, support biodiversity, and create a harmonious balance between nature and community welfare
