When Hope Faded
In February 2021, we hoped that the schools around Bandhavgarh which had remained closed since March 2020 would reopen in April 2021.

The Risk of Retaliatory Poisoning and Poaching is High
In the short term, more permanent wildlife waterholes are essential to prevent the inevitable tiger-tiger and human-animal conflict, which will arise due to the animals being displaced by the fires, from leading to more tiger deaths. We plan to start work within two weeks on installing a solar powered bore-well pump system at a large waterhole, which is currently being filled by water tankers, and is used by at least 42 elephants and 8 wild tigers plus countless other animals which have been displaced by the fires.

Within two weeks the waterholes were dry, just like the many streams, rivers and natural waterholes around Bandhavgarh as the…

Thank you…
