Our Mission

At Kanana Wildlife Conservation, our mission is to safeguard the biodiversity of the Western Ghats through scientific research, conservation initiatives, and community engagement. We are committed to:

  • Advancing innovative research using emerging technologies to study wildlife ecology, species interactions, and habitat dynamics, particularly in human-modified landscapes.
  • Implementing conservation strategies to protect endangered and endemic species while conserving threatened ecosystems, including the Myristica swamps and rainforest habitats of the Western Ghats.
  • Engaging and empowering local communities to foster a harmonious relationship between people and wildlife through education and awareness programs.

Our Vision

At Kanana Wildlife Conservation, we envision a world where forests, wildlife, and people coexist in harmony, creating a future where conservation is a shared responsibility.

Rooted in the heart of the Western Ghats, our mission extends beyond protecting wildlife, we are dedicated to restoring ecosystems, bridging the gap between science and communities, and inspiring action through education and awareness. We believe true conservation happens when people become active stewards of nature, transforming from bystanders into change makers in safeguarding our planet.

At Kanana, conservation is more than a mission, it's a movement. Together, we protect. Together, we thrive.

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.

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.
