Protecting Elephant Corridors for a Connected Future
Understanding and preserving wildlife connectivity across landscapes for the survival of Asian elephants and biodiversity
About Gaja Conservation Trust
Gaja Conservation Trust is a non-profit mainly working on understanding functional connectivity of elephants between landscapes. Our honest endeavor is to study, conserve and protect the connectivity areas so that elephants and other wildlife can use them to move across landscapes.
We also study the effects of linear infrastructure on connectivity of landscapes and how they affect movement of elephants. We engage with local community living around elephant landscapes as they are the ones who have been protecting and conserving wildlife in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
Conserving Connectivity
Protecting Wildlife
Our Focus Areas
Wildlife Corridors
Studying and protecting connectivity areas that allow elephants and other wildlife to move freely across landscapes.
Linear Infrastructure
Researching the impacts of highways, railways, and power projects on elephant movement and implementing mitigation measures.
Community Engagement
Working with local and tribal communities living near forest landscapes to support conservation and improve livelihoods.
Join Us in Creating a Safer Planet for Every Life
As human needs and aspirations grow, there is an unprecedented amount of growth happening in terms of highways, railways, power projects, dams, etc. It is very crucial to study and understand the impacts of these linear infrastructure on the movement of wildlife in general.
We at GCT have made it a mission to understand the impacts of linear infrastructure so that mitigation measures can be implemented to ensure that the connectivity for the movement of elephants is not lost. Contiguous forests and landscapes are the bare minimum requirements for the long term survival of not only elephants but also other wildlife in general.
