Asian Elephant Conservation Fund

The purpose of this project is to build a community grain storage house that secures the grain of local farmers from crop raiding elephants. By safeguarding grain, the project will help to decrease incidences of human-elephant conflict (HEC), reduce retaliatory killings and foster a more positive attitude toward wild elephants among local communities. The grain storage house will minimize the probability of elephant visits to the villages, thereby reducing the chances of human casualties and injuries. The project will engage the Shreeramnagar Buffer Zone User Committee (BZUC), which falls under Neulapur VDC, and establish a mechanism to manage the community grain storage house in the long term.
