About the webinar:
Between 2017-2024, The Corbett Foundation (TCF) undertook ecological restoration of around 2,500 hectares of land in Satpura Tiger Reserve, Kanha Tiger Reserve and North Shahdol Forest Division (Bandhavgarh Sanjay Dubri Corridor, Madhya Pradesh). These projects were undertaken in partnership with Madhya Pradesh Forest Department and required a careful balancing act between ecological restoration of forest areas and the grazing needs of village communities living near them.
Today, several wild species, including tigers, have been recorded at these restoration sites, while people from the villages nearby harvest grass to stall-feed their livestock.
In this webinar, Kedar Gore will share TCF’s journey so far while mediating and navigating the needs of the local communities and of the local environment, all the while maintaining a working relationship with the Forest Department. Join us as he highlights the challenges they faced along the way, and shares his learnings and best practices.
