Kanana Conservation

Protecting Wildlife,
Preserving Ecosystems,
Empowering Communities.

At Kanana, we are committed to safeguarding biodiversity through science-driven conservation, community involvement, and sustainable practices. Our work focuses on preserving endangered species, restoring natural habitats, and fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Our mission is to bridge research with real-world conservation efforts, safeguarding ecosystems and species from the tiniest insects to the largest mammals for generations to come. Through ecological studies, habitat restoration, and local partnerships, we strive to preserve the Western Ghats’ remarkable biodiversity and strengthen the delicate balance of life in this unique landscape.

What’s going on in the wild.

Primate Behavior, Health & Human-Primate Interactions

Understanding the complex relationship between primates and human-modified environments is crucial to conserving wildlife in the Western Ghats. Our research focuses on primate stress, behavior, human-wildlife conflict, and disease ecology to develop science-based solutions for coexistence.

Human-Wildlife Conflict

Exploring the economic and social impacts of wildlife interactions with human communities, we work to develop practical, sustainable solutions that minimize conflict and foster coexistence between people and wildlife.

Herpetofauna Research & Snakebite Awareness

Our research explores the rich biodiversity of the Western Ghats, focusing on the ecological roles of endemic amphibians and reptiles. We also address the public health and economic impacts of snakebites in India, aiming to reduce mortality and promote coexistence between humans and reptiles.

On a Mission to Protect Endangered Species and Stop Wildlife Exploitation.

Join the Movement

The future of our planet depends on the actions we take today. Be a part of the movement to protect and restore our environment. Together, we can build a world where nature and people thrive in harmony. Stay connected with us for updates on our latest projects, conservation successes, and ways you can make a difference.

OUR APPROACH

We work to conserve the diverse life forms of the Western Ghats, including endangered and endemic species of birds, primates, amphibians, reptiles, insects, and plants, ensuring the protection of their natural habitats.

We use advanced technologies to study species interactions, develop ecological models, and assess habitat dynamics and the impacts of climate change. Additionally, molecular research aids in understanding genetic diversity, population health, and conservation priorities for threatened species.

We believe conservation thrives when people are part of the solution. Kanana actively involves citizen scientists, students, researchers, and local communities in hands-on conservation initiatives and educational programs.

OUR MISSION

At Kanana Wildlife Conservation, our mission is to protect the biodiversity of the Western Ghats through scientific research, conservation action, and community engagement. We use innovative technologies to study wildlife behavior, species interactions, and habitat dynamics, especially in human-impacted areas. Our initiatives focus on protecting endangered species and restoring critical ecosystems like Myristica swamps and rainforests. By involving local communities through education and awareness, we promote coexistence between people and wildlife. We believe true conservation happens when science and society work together to create lasting impact, ensuring that both nature and humanity can thrive for generations to come.
