Summary

Climate Change has led to severe drought becoming the norm in Bandhavgarh as annual monsoon rainfall reduces. The impact is felt by all when prey animals enter villages to drink/raid crops & predators follow taking livestock. Villagers can't afford these losses so they retaliate to end the conflict thus risking tigers' lives. Our project provides solar-powered borehole pumps to provide permanent water for wild tigers & their prey & solar PIR sensor lights to reduce human-animal conflict & impact

Challenge

In recent years Bandhavgarh has suffered multiple water crises due to erratic rainfall & long drought periods. Existing seasonal wildlife waterholes replenished by monsoon rains dry-out earlier each year. Wild animals go to villages in search of water which leads to further human-animal conflict as crops are raided & livestock taken. Each of our waterhole projects will provide water for 6 or more wild tigers & countless other wild animals whilst reducing human-wildlife conflict.

Solution

Each project will provide solar powered pumps & permanent waterholes for wild tigers & their prey. We access underground streams to provide year round water whilst surplus water returns via soakaway systems. We've provided year-round water critical for the survival of 125 tigers at 24 locations. In 2024-25 we aim to complete work on at least 1 more permanent waterhole by the end of March 2025. This will help to reduce human-animal conflict & provide water for 6 more tigers & prey.

Long-Term Impact

The lives of thousands of wild animals including more than 125 wild tigers will be saved by the year-round availability of water. Permanent wildlife waterholes reduce human-animal conflict and contribute to the conservation of the wild tigers' environment & sustainability of their habitat through ecologically focused actions.
