As human settlements expand, conflicts with wildlife—such as crop raiding by herbivores and predation on livestock—are on the rise. Our research investigates the economic burden of such conflicts, analyzing the financial costs to local communities and the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. By working closely with stakeholders, we aim to develop solutions that promote coexistence while reducing economic losses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
