10 Powerful Stories of Conservationists Saving India’s Wildlife
While it’s heartbreaking to come across stories of wildlife struggling to survive in a world that seems to be moving against them, there are still incredible people and organisations, doing their part in making a real difference.
From saving the charismatic elephant to protecting the elusive snow leopards, here are ten inspiring stories that remind us that even in the toughest situations, proactive action is never gone in vain.
1. Vivek Menon — Championing elephant corridors
Elephants are sociable beings that look at us the same way we look at puppies. But their nature does not guarantee zero human-wildlife conflict. Vivek Menon, co-founder of the Wildlife Trust of India, has been a relentless force behind securing vital elephant corridors across the country. By linking habitats across 11 states, Menon’s work helps elephants move safely, reducing human-wildlife conflict.
His efforts make sure that these magnificent animals can roam freely without disrupting local communities. This year, Sigur Plateau was designated as an elephant corridor by the Supreme Court, thanks to his extensive research.

2. Dr Tsewang Namgail — Snow leopards and sustainable livelihoods
In the evergrowing need to search for ways for wildlife and humans to co-exist peacefully, Dr Tsewang Namgail and his Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust have found a way to do exactly that. By offering innovative solutions like livestock insurance and eco-tourism, Namgail is reducing conflicts between villagers and the big cats.
His Himalayan Homestay Programme lets visitors experience Ladakhi culture while funding conservation. This initiative benefits both the snow leopards and the local community, making it a conservation model that goes hand-in-hand with sustainable living.

Her journey began at the age of 14 when she successfully domesticated her first elephant in the forests of Kochugaon in the state.Over the years, she has tamed over 500 elephants, employing unique traditional techniques like Mela Shikar to capture wild elephants without the use of tranquilizer guns.
Barua, hailing from the royal family of Gauripur in Assam, was born on March 14, 1953, and exhibited an early passion for elephants and the wilderness, defying societal expectations by venturing into what was traditionally a male-dominated domain.
Beyond her remarkable achievements in elephant taming, Barua has been instrumental in mitigating human-elephant conflicts across Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, Uttaranchal, and Uttar Pradesh. She has collaborated closely with forest officers to provide herbal treatments and training to mahouts and field staff, significantly contributing to the resolution of wildlife challenges.
Her impact extends globally, with her participation in international workshops and seminars focused on elephant conservation. Notably, she represented India at the International Workshop on the Domesticated Asian Elephant in Bangkok, Thailand, organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2001.
Her dedication has earned her numerous accolades, including the Asom Gaurav Award (2023) and the United Nations Environment Program's “Global 500 - Roll of Honour” (1989). The government of Assam honoured her with the “Honorary Chief Elephant Warden of Asom” title in 2003, recognizing her lifelong commitment to elephant welfare.
