#VoicesForTheVoiceless (Day 2 of 15) Honouring: Hemendra Kothari, Founder of the Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) Saving a tiger = saving a forest = saving the planet. Simple math, simple truth. 🌍 Today, we honour Hemendra Kothari, a visionary philanthropist who built the Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) on this profound understanding. WCT is a powerhouse in Indian conservation, linking financial acumen with a deep commitment to the wild. Why their work is critical: 🌿 Protecting the Protectors: WCT's "Guardians of the Wild" program is exceptional. They have provided critical support- including new vehicles, life-saving equipment, and health programs- to thousands of frontline forest guards, the unsung heroes who risk their lives daily. 🌿 Habitat is Everything: Their work focuses on protecting critical "Project Tiger" corridors. This ensures the health of vast ecosystems that support not just tigers, but leopards, herbivores, and thousands of other species. 🌿 Science-Driven Conservation: WCT uses extensive, data-driven research (like camera trapping and landscape mapping) to implement solutions that are effective, scalable, and truly make a difference. 🌿 The Climate Connection: This is direct, boots-on-the-ground climate action. A tiger is an "umbrella species." By protecting its habitat, WCT is safeguarding thousands of square kilometers of India's most vital carbon sinks. These forests don't just store carbon; they are the "water towers" of India, securing the headwaters of our most critical rivers. Saving a tiger is, therefore, an act of climate resilience and water security for millions of people. WCT gives a voice not only to the tiger but to the silent, sprawling forests and the brave guards who defend them. Learn about their vital work: https://www.wildlifeconservationtrust.org/
