South Asia & Bay of Bengal

Challenges

There are three distinct challenges we must grapple with: habitat loss and degradation, unmanaged hunting, and wildlife-human conflict.

Our Goal

Ensure there are multiple thriving populations of all of South Asia's wildlife species.

How Will We Get There?

Our strategies include:

• Conduct the focused, innovative, cutting-edge wildlife science that is the solid foundation of all our conservation efforts, and share the resulting knowledge freely and widely with the conservation community at large.
• Provide technical support to official law enforcement agencies to ensure wildlife conservation laws are strong and enforced effectively.
• Collaborate with governments and local communities to design and implement land and marine use management practices that are wildlife friendly as well as compatible with human developmental aspirations.
• Assist all levels of government and local communities to devise and implement practical solutions to wildlife-human conflict that are tailored to each type of conflict that can arise.
