Conservation India

Conservation India Conservation India CI aims to provide the information and tools needed to fight effectively for our embattled wild heritage.

CI is a 'technology for social change' project that aims to get citizens engaged actively in wildlife conservation. CI provides a platform for mass collaboration. CI is not an encyclopedia of Indian wildlife. If you want to discover the identity of a bird you saw recently, or need details about the distribution or behaviour of a particular species, we can point you in the right direction, but you

won’t find that information on this site. CI is also not the place to look for information on conservation of cultural heritage or the welfare of domestic plants and animals. CI’s focus is the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats. In this portal you will find short introductory essays on a variety of conservation issues by leading experts. You will also find case studies of conservation successes and failures, actionable tool-kits, conservation news (including those that never get into mainstream media), reviews of conservation books, websites and films, information on conservation events, advice on how to conduct campaigns and links to organizations and individuals working in the same space – Wildlife Conservation. In short, we aim to make CI your one-stop-shop for conservation related information, with the aim of enabling pragmatic and sensible conservation action.
