The Corbett Foundation

Today marks 30 years since our founder, the late Mr. Dilip D. Khatau, and chairperson, Mrs. Rina D. Khatau, established The Corbett Foundation with the vision to conserve, protect, and preserve wildlife and its habitats, tackling the challenges of human-wildlife conflict in and around Corbett National Park. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, leading TCF to its current presence in nine conservation landscapes across six Indian states, working to protect some of the country's most threatened species. We are proud to partner with state forest departments in each landscape and are grateful for the collaborations with local stakeholders. Our achievements over the past three decades have been made possible by the support and trust of our partners, donors, and collaborators. As we celebrate 30 years of impactful work, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has played a role in our journey and contributed to The Corbett Foundation's critical efforts. Looking ahead, we are inspired to continue our mission and explore new horizons in wildlife conservation. #HappyEarthDay #WildlifeConservation #LandscapeConservation #CommunityEmpowerment #OneHealth Kedar Gore Dr Devesh Gadhavi Dr. Harendra Singh Bargali Naveen Pandey

Expressing environmental optimism before the Lok Sabha elections 2024... With elections round the corner, it would be really interesting to see which candidate or political party includes anything really specific about protecting India's natural ecosystems, and not equate development by destruction of these lifelines. Sharing my wishlist as a conservationist and nature lover #voter of #India. 1. The Article 51-A (g) of the #Constitution of India clearly states that “It shall be duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life and to have compassion for living creatures.” The political parties who strive to form the government in India, should take decisions and lay down policies that abide by this fundamental duty in letter and in spirit. 2. There should be a zero-tolerance policy towards any kind environmental destruction. Announcing developmental projects in the election manifesto must be carefully vetted for their negative effects on India's precious biodiversity and wilderness habitats. Biodiversity and habitat loss is often irreversible and can have detrimental effects on the region's groundwater, rainfall pattern, hydrology of rivers, agriculture and overall livelihoods of people, in addition to driving several species towards extinction. 3. I would love to see political parties plan meticulously to prevent water misuse in cities, effective waste management in smaller towns and villages, avoid projects that need wide-scale reclaiming of mountains, wetlands, mangroves and coastline, retain and create more open green spaces in urban areas for recreational and ecological needs, and ensure wildlife habitat connectivity is maintained across India. 4. Wetlands, grasslands and deserts need to be recognised as important and unique ecosystems and not as 'wastelands'. We need policies to ensure these natural areas are preserved for posterity. 5. And last but not the least, ecologically destructive projects should have no place in modern India. In our quest to balance development with environment, we have more than often seen the imbalance tilted in favour of environmental destruction. This should be unacceptable to all Indians and the protection of environment and nature must be treated at par with national security. https://lnkd.in/dc9Jj_uS Naveen Pandey Dr Devesh Gadhavi Dr. Harendra Singh Bargali Nirmal Ghosh Ranjeet Jadhav Virat Singh Mrityunjay Bose Dipti Singh Mid-Day BOMBAY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY Yashvardhan Dalmia MoEF&CC Bittu Sahgal Sanctuary Asia #electionmanifesto #democracy #Bharat #ModernIndia #nature #environment

Happy International Day of Forests! Forests are not only vital ecosystems for the survival of thousands of species of plants and animals but are also invaluable resources that contribute to the well-being and sustainability of the human race. From purifying the air we breathe to mitigating climate change and fostering biodiversity, forests play a pivotal role in our lives. Here's to committing to conserving and preserving these majestic wonders for future generations. #IntlForestDay #Conservation

Thank you INDIAdonates- an initiative of DevPro for this honour 💚

The Corbett Foundation is extremely honoured to be declared the winner of the HCL Tech Grant Edition IX in the 'Environment' category from hundreds of applicants through a rigorous and robust process of due diligence that assessed the project proposal on its innovative approach, scalability, sustainability and community participation. We extend our deepest gratitude to the esteemed Jury members, and HCLFoundation, HCLTech and Grant Thornton Bharat LLP teams for supporting this project. We also congratulate other winners and extend best wishes for their projects. The HCL Tech Grant will play a crucial role in the conservation of India’s most threatened bird species – Great Indian Bustard and Lesser Florican – and their grassland habitat, which has deteriorated due to ignorance and apathy. Both these species are friends of the farmers and pastoralists, and this project will promote the model of human-wildlife harmonious coexistence and a win-win situation that can be scaled up and replicated across other grassland landscapes in India. The Corbett Foundation is delighted that this work will add substantially to the Bustard Recovery Programme of the MoEF&CC, Government of India and the State Government of #Gujarat. This project will certainly pave the way for sustainable and wise use of grasslands that are unfortunately considered as #wastelands. Once again, a huge thank you to #HCLTechGrant for this recognition and honour 💚
