#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. ๐ 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: ๐ฟ 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. ๐ฟ 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. ๐ฟ 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. ๐ฟ 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/
