outreach & awareness
We believe that building a positive mindset towards conservation is a generational challenge and requires an ongoing conversation. It is only through continuous sensitisation, education and awareness amongst the local community, especially the younger generation, will we be able to instil a sense of pride and ownership amongst them about our natural heritage. We focus on engaging with the community through workshops and programs mainly for the younger generation including school children and the youth.
Flora Fauna Field Guide
HUMAS - a flora fauna field guide is the first effort to document the region's rich biodiversity, including its unique plants, mammals, and birds. Aimed at researchers, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts, Humas serves as an essential resource for understanding and preserving the Drass ecosystem.
Community Sensitisation Workshops
The Trust conducts periodical community workshops in various villages to create awareness and educate them about the bears, their behaviour and do's and don'ts to mitigate human-animal conflict

School Outreach Programs
As a part of our long term strategy to make a generational mindset shift towards conservation, we engage with school children of all age groups through various programs in order to sensitise them about environmental conservation and the importance of co-existence.
Village Cleaning Drives
These cleaning drives in villages in collaboration with other government bodies creates a sense of ownership and accountability amongst the local community and helps in keeping the conservation conversation alive.
