Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
To protect endangered Asian elephants of India by preserving corridors for wild elephants and restoring their habitats, while providing basic knowledge and tools to the people living near the forest fringes to alleviate human elephant conflict, thereby fostering peaceful coexistence between people and wild elephants.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Current Projects: 1. Saving Elephants from Deadly Train Tracks. Unsustainable development including railway tracks and roads that cut through core habitats are a major cause of elephant deaths. Every year 2-3 elephants die in train collisions. Speed restrictions are enforced inside protected areas but not outside where most accidents occur. We are piloting an early warning system to alert train drivers of elephant presence, with enough time for the speeding train to stop. The sirens will also warn elephants about the trains, preventing them from crossing. 2. Food & Water for Odisha's Distraught Elephants. Development is rapidly dwindling Odisha's forests, forcing elephants to enter villages/cropland and cross roads for food and water. This has increased human-elephant conflict and elephant deaths from vehicle collisions. The first phase of this project was funded in 2022, and officially launched in early 2023. This project will restore degraded habitats by cultivating favored elephant
-
Laser Device for Traffic Vigilance and Preventing Elephant Deaths. We launched yet another state-of-the-art technology - a high-tech high-touch laser device that works on laser beams and sirens - to save elephants from traffic deaths on Odisha?s notorious roadways, in collaboration with a grassroots partner, Paribartan, based in Odisha?s Angul district.
Expenses $48,604 · Grants $34,764
-
Saving 500 Elephants from Electrocution Deaths In India's West Bengal state, 1-2 elephants die each year from accidental or deliberate electrocutions. In 2020 alone, around 10 elephants had electrocuted. VFAES, in collaboration with Nature Mates India, has installed elephant-friendly solar fencing around a three-kilometer farmland in two villages. We have also installed a camera trap that captures images and videos of elephant movements, without disturbing the crops. VFAES has also installed invisible biofriendly fencing that emanates potent odor to deter elephants. Both of these fencing have been effective.
Expenses $29,380 · Grants $21,014
-
Food & Water for Odisha's Distraught Elephants . This project will restore degraded habitats by cultivating favored elephant plant species and creating waterholes within elephant habitats. Tribal community members will be trained and employed to run the project
