This week, as the planet celebrates World Earth Day, you could help us protect an elephant corridor in northeast India.

If you donate to the appeal we’ve launched today, you won’t have to imagine the difference you will be making. Your contributions will go towards a project by our partner Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) that has already proven its impact since 2003: three elephant corridors protected, 4,000 ha saved by 20 villages who own the reserves and benefit through improved livelihoods.

Together and through our new £350,000 appeal, we can save a fourth corridor and this is what your donations today will fund:
* 2,000 ha saved through community-owned reserves from 2021 to 2026 (with help from a corporate supporter, WTI will be saving a total of 4,000 ha this way)
* 15,000 ha protected through biodiversity-friendly community plans from 2021 to 2030 (with help from a corporate supporter, WTI will be protecting a total of 35,000 ha this way)
* 170 ha restored through the planting of 125,000 native trees from 2021 to 2026 (with help from a corporate supporter, WTI will be restoring a total of 400 ha this way)
* Three rangers enlisted from local communities from 2021 to 2026 (with help from a corporate supporter, WTI will be enlisting a total of five watchers)

WLT supporters have been funding the protection of the Garo Hills since 2003 and today, you can write this project’s most crucial chapter yet. Connectivity for elephants, leopards, pangolins and hundreds of other species; a new economy that doesn’t cost local people their forest; scale and ambition against planetary crises – this and more you can gift by donating to our new appeal!

“WE A’CHIK MANDE CAN PROTECT OUR MOTHERLAND,
WITH YOUR HELP”
RANGKU SANGMA ON WHAT YOUR APPEAL DONATIONS WILL DO

Rangku Sangma, a key part of this project as the Chief Forest Officer at the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council, grew up in these lush foothills of northeast India. In his letter to WLT supporters, he talks about what your donations will do for elephants – and the A’chik Mande communities who have been living here for millennia.

“This is a conservation project where communities own the land, decide what land to preserve and receive support for new livelihoods. That is the future I can see for Garo Hills: one where we A’chik Mande people can protect our forest motherland and live sustainably for the sake of future generations. With support from your donations, we can make it happen.”
