Program Overview

Green Impact Nepal (GIN), in collaboration with Damak Municipality and Kamal Rural Municipality, is implementing an Education Outreach Program to raise awareness about Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) and promote coexistence with wildlife.

These regions are among the most affected by HEC, where human settlements and elephant habitats frequently overlap, leading to conflicts that pose risks to both human communities and wildlife. Understanding the causes and impacts of these conflicts is crucial in developing effective strategies for peaceful coexistence.

Educational Approach

Through interactive sessions with students and teachers, our team is educating communities on the root causes of HEC, its consequences on both humans and elephants, and practical mitigation measures. We emphasize sustainable solutions such as early warning systems, habitat conservation, and community-driven initiatives to ensure safety while protecting biodiversity.

By fostering awareness and equipping local communities with knowledge, we aim to reduce conflicts and build a harmonious relationship between humans and wildlife. We extend our gratitude to Damak Municipality, Kamal Rural Municipality, and all participants for their active engagement in this initiative.
