IMPACT

WHERE WE WORK

  • Corbett Tiger Reserve

    Corbett Tiger Reserve is spread over the districts of Nainital and Pauri in Uttarakhand. Named after the legendary English hunter-turned-conservationist Jim Corbett, it covers an area of approximately 1,318 sq. kilometers. Corbett was the first National Park to be established in mainland Asia in 1936. This tiger haven is one of the last few remaining stretches of pristine sub-Himalayan wildernesses.
  • Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve

    Located in the Vindhya hills, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh is one of the world's most crucial tiger habitats. Initially the hunting ground for the rulers of Rewa, Bandhavgarh was declared a National Park in 1968 and covers approximately 450 sq. kilometers of dense forests.
  • Kanha Tiger Reserve

    Kanha is the only remaining home of the endangered Hardground Barasingha, a subspecies of Swamp Deer. This bountiful reserve covers an area of approximately 1940 sq. kilometers. Covered in dense sal and thick bamboo trees, Kanha is the largest National Park in Madhya Pradesh and has a rich faunal diversity.
  • Greater Rann of Kutch

    The district of Kutch in Gujarat covers an area of approximately 45,000 sq. kilometers. The region has a rich natural inheritance of wildlife and is home to a number of endangered species, including the iconic Great Indian Bustard. Although some of the coastal districts like Abdasa are remote, in the past couple of years, they have been facing an increasing loss of wilderness areas because of anthropogenic pressure.
  • Pakke Tiger Reserve

    Pakke Tiger Reserve is located on the foothills of the Himalaya in the east Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. Spread across approximately 862 sq. kilometers, Pakke is home to four species of hornbill – the Oriental Pied, Wreathed, Rufous-necked and Great Indian Hornbill, and at least 40 mammal species including the Clouded Leopard, Leopard Cat, and Asiatic Black Bear.
  • Kaziranga Tiger Reserve

    A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kaziranga National Park lies in the picturesque Golaghat and Nagaon districs of Assam. It is spread across approximately 430 sq. kilometers on the southern bank of the Brahmaputra. It is home to the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros, and also supports a high density of Asian Buffalos, Asiatic Elephants and Swamp Deer.
  • Pench Tiger Reserve

    Pench National Park derives its name from the Pench river that surges through it. Located in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh and Nagpur district in Maharashtra, Pench covers an area of about 758 sq. kilometers. Popularly known as 'Mowgli Land', Pench's lush forests are believed have inspired Rudyard Kipling to write 'The Jungle Book'.
