Building Livelihoods, Strengthening Coexistence! 🌿🐘 SAGE Foundation is engaging with Human–Elephant Conflict-affected villagers to understand their livelihood challenges and explore alternative income opportunities to compensate for wildlife-related losses. Through the SATHI Programme, we aim to empower communities through skill development, sustainable livelihoods, and economic resilience.

New calf added to the Eastern Maharashtra herd today, 35 now..... In 5 years the herd increased from 23 to 35 and in few years Eastern Maharashtra will have a thriving elephant population. @MahaForest @vijayp091 @ranjeetnature @LokmatTimes_ngp @mid_day

Distribution of torches to villagers in Human–Elephant Conflict-prone areas enhances community safety, particularly during night-time hours when encounters are more frequent. It helps villagers protect themselves, navigate safely, and carry out essential livelihood activities while reducing the risk of human–elephant encounters. A simple yet impactful intervention towards safer communities and sustainable human–elephant coexistence. 🐘🌿 #SAGEFoundation #UpadhyayaFoundation #HumanElephantConflict #ElephantConservation #CommunitySafety #LivelihoodSecurity #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #CommunityEmpowerment #Gadchiroli #WildlifeConservation @UF_India @MahaForest

Field Visit of Upadhaya Foundation and Interactive Session with SAGE Foundation at Gadchiroli, Maharashtra A field visit was undertaken by the team of Upadhaya Foundation to Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, followed by an interactive session with the SAGE Foundation to gain first-hand insights into ongoing conservation initiatives, field-level challenges, and approaches to human–elephant conflict mitigation. The field interaction provided an opportunity to understand the local conservation landscape, particularly the challenges associated with wildlife management, human–elephant interactions, and community engagement. Discussions also focused on the importance of strengthening collaboration among conservation organisations, local communities, and relevant stakeholders to develop practical and sustainable conservation strategies. During the interactive session, SAGE Foundation shared its ongoing initiatives and field experiences, particularly its work in human–elephant conflict mitigation in Maharashtra. The discussion explored potential areas of collaboration, knowledge exchange, field-based research, and the development of integrated conservation approaches. The visit served as a valuable platform for sharing experiences, understanding ground realities, and identifying opportunities for future institutional collaboration between Upadhaya Foundation and SAGE Foundation. Such interactions are essential for strengthening conservation partnerships and developing locally relevant solutions to emerging wildlife conservation challenges. @UF_India #SAGEFoundation #UpadhayaFoundation #HumanElephantCoexistence #WildlifeConservation #CollaborativeConservation

🌿🐘 Walking Together for Wildlife & Coexistence! 🐘🌿 As part of Wildlife Week 2026, SAGE Foundation joined hands with enthusiastic school children of Koira–Barbil, Odisha, for an awareness rally carrying an important message to the community — wildlife conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Through their voices, placards and enthusiasm, the young participants spread awareness about the importance of protecting wildlife, conserving natural habitats and, most importantly, learning to coexist with the wild animals that share our landscapes. 🌳🐘🦌 In a landscape where people and elephants often share the same space and resources, building understanding from a young age is an important step towards reducing conflict and creating a future based on respect, tolerance and coexistence. When children become ambassadors for wildlife, the message travels from schools to homes, and from homes to entire communities. 💚 Protect Wildlife. Respect Nature. Share the Landscape. Coexist. #WildlifeWeek2026 #WildlifeWeek #HumanElephantCoexistence #CoexistenceWithGiants #SaveElephants #ElephantConservation #WildlifeConservation #HumanWildlifeCoexistence @JSWFoundation @DfoBonai @PCCFWL_Odisha @pccfodisha

In the wild, elephants don’t just eat — they forage, explore, move and choose. 🐘🌿 Asian elephants can spend up to 16 hours a day feeding and consume an extraordinary diversity of plants. This variety supports their digestive health, physical activity and natural behaviour. In captivity, restricted movement, limited diets and isolation from a herd can have serious consequences for both physical and psychological wellbeing. Protecting elephants means protecting more than the animal — it means protecting their habitat, freedom to move, natural diet and social bonds. Healthy Diets. Wild Lives. Complete Families. Because elephants thrive in nature. 🌿🐘 #SAGEFoundation #AsianElephants #ElephantConservation #ElephantWelfare #SaveElephants #WildElephants #WildlifeConservation #ProtectWildlife #ElephantFacts #WildlifeAwareness #ConservationMatters #LetElephantsBeElephants #Coexistence #NatureConservation

🐘 One Trunk. Hundreds of Jobs! An elephant’s trunk is an extraordinary natural tool—used to breathe, smell, drink, feed, touch, communicate, bathe and explore. With tens of thousands of muscles, it combines incredible strength with remarkable precision. 🌿 Protecting elephants means protecting the habitats where these amazing adaptations evolved and continue to thrive.
