Ready-to-submit project briefs
Each brief carries an itemised budget, a defined geography, measurable outputs and a reporting cadence your CSR committee can sign off against.
Project 1: Central Indian tiger corridor protection & fire mitigation
Anti-poaching patrols, camera trapping, forest-fire watch and community Primary Response Teams around the Navegaon-Nagzira Tiger Reserve and its two dispersal corridors.
Project 2: Wetland ecosystem restoration & Sarus Crane protection
Restoring historical Malguzari tanks, Sarus Mitra field-guardian stipends through the breeding season, and farmer reward schemes for nests held on private paddy land.
Project 3: Alternative livelihoods for corridor communities
Self-Help Group formation and training, sustainable minor forest produce harvesting, poultry and fishery support — reducing household dependence on forest extraction.
Why this landscape
Gondia sits at the gateway to Maharashtra from central and eastern India, on the borders of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The tigers of Navegaon-Nagzira disperse across both state lines, which makes this one of the few places where a corporate conservation spend touches an inter-state population rather than a single reserve.
SEWA has worked here since 2014, and on tiger dispersal since 2011. Field teams are local, the Forest Department relationship is long-standing, and reporting comes from people who live in the buffer villages rather than from a visiting contractor.
