CoExistence Fund
The CoExistence Fund was set up by the British Asian Trust to support conservation initiatives in India. It has been made possible through Elephant Family’s CoExistence campaign and provides an exciting opportunity for us to grow our conservation work and develop new partnerships.
A conservation Advisory Group consisting of expert conservationists and specialists in their fields has been convened by the British Asian Trust to provide guidance and advice on how the Fund supports conservation work in the Eastern Himalayas and the Western Ghats. These two areas are recognised biodiversity hotspots with several challenges as well as opportunities in relation to human-wildlife coexistence, which is key to the Trust’s Conservation programme.
