About
Spenta Foundation

Aka Spenta Aid Foundation

A journey towards co-existence

The Avestan word Spenta means beneficent or benefitting others.

Spenta Foundation is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems, with a primary focus on protecting elephant habitats and their green corridors. Our work is structured around three core pillars:

​​​

Mitigating human-wildlife conflict:

  • We prioritize the safety of both humans and animals, working to reduce conflict in forest-border villages.

  • Our squads patrol with forest officials 365 days & extensively during the harvesting season, to ensure safe elephant passage and mitigate potential risks.

  • We train local villagers on effective, non-harmful methods to protect their crops and property.​

Restoring forest ecosystems:

  • We rehabilitate degraded lands by planting native trees, fruit trees, and grass species to restore natural biodiversity.

  • This work creates crucial new food sources and strengthens the forest's ecosystem, particularly within elephant corridors.

  • We protect vital forest wetlands, which are essential for forest health and the survival of diverse wildlife.

Promoting community engagement and wildlife protection:

  • Our teams provide local employment for conservation and restoration activities.​

  • We actively assist forest officials with the rescue, treatment, and rehabilitation of injured wildlife.

  • Through training sessions for adults, youth, students, and other community groups, we raise awareness about the importance of conservation and peaceful human-wildlife coexistence.

  • We protect forests from illegal logging and exploitation by the timber mafia.
