The Shola Trust

As human-wildlife conflicts escalate due to shrinking habitats and increased encounters, these organisations are working to promote peaceful coexistence between humans and elephants, leopards, snakes and Lantana camara — emphasising the importance of collective action.

Highlighting the cause of nature and wildlife conservation at a global scale, the Lantana elephants are part of a greater initiative to raise funds for conservation and help people and elephants live together more harmoniously.

Did you know that every year up to 300 people and 40 to 50 elephants are killed due to human-elephant conflict? A group of young wildlife enthusiasts from Gudalur has come up with an interesting solution. And it has to do with locals and mobile phones.
