Who we are
Conservation that protects life without erasing livelihoods.
Forests, wildlife and human communities in Uttar Pradesh are bound by a shared landscape — yet habitat fragmentation, climate stress and unplanned expansion have turned coexistence into conflict. The Coexistence Project is a technology-enabled, community-driven initiative built to prevent that conflict before it happens, not to manage it after.
We move beyond reactive enforcement toward anticipatory protection: smart surveillance, ecological restoration, strong governance and sustainable livelihoods working as one system, where forests regenerate, wildlife moves safely within protected corridors, and settlements stay secure.

Our approach
Four fronts, one coexistence system
Why this model works
Prevention, not Reaction
Multi-layered protection
Corridor core, smart buffer and settlement line work together, adding 30–60 minutes of response time before an animal ever reaches a village.
AI-led early warning
Camera traps and sensors trigger automatic alerts to forest officers, quick-response teams and district administration — before conflict escalates.
Livelihoods over dependency
Wildlife trackers, eco-tourism guides and solar technicians replace forest-edge farming as a source of income.
Forest Guardians, not just rangers
Bagh Mitras trained, certified and equipped with GPS and alert devices — local ownership replaces dependence on distant enforcement.
Transparent, geo-tagged restoration
Every plantation is logged and audited at 6, 12 and 24 months, so reforestation claims are verifiable, not promised.
Accountable governance
A joint command across Forest, Police, Health and Disaster Management, reviewed monthly on a public dashboard.
What happens when prevention comes too late
The Coexistence Project
"Human–wildlife conflict cannot be eliminated by guns and cages alone; it must be prevented through planning, protection, and coexistence."
