Wildlife Conservation

At Jungleciti Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd., we recognize that the preservation of wildlife and natural habitats is not only our duty but also a responsibility that extends beyond eco-tourism. While we are deeply committed to sustainable tourism, we also understand the critical importance of conservation efforts aimed at protecting the unique wildlife of Kaziranga National Park. Our commitment goes beyond offering exceptional hospitality experiences. We actively collaborate with the Assam Forest Department, local Forest Guards, and other conservation agencies to ensure the long-term survival of Kaziranga's diverse flora and fauna.

Our wildlife conservation initiatives are conducted year-round, with special attention during flood seasons when the park faces the most significant environmental challenges. Here's an overview of the comprehensive measures Jungleciti is taking to assist with conservation in Kaziranga National Park.

Kaziranga National Park, located in the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River, experiences devastating annual floods during the monsoon season (June to September). These floods pose a direct threat to many species of wildlife, particularly rhinos, tigers, wild buffaloes, and deer, as they can be stranded, injured, or displaced. As part of our commitment to protecting these endangered species during floods, Jungleciti Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with the Assam Forest Department and local Forest Guards to implement several key conservation actions:

• Jungleciti works hand-in-hand with the Forest Department and Forest Guards during the flood season to assist in rescue operations. These operations focus on saving stranded animals and transporting them to safer areas when floodwaters rise, particularly for animals like the Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros and Swamp Deer.
• Jungleciti has contributed to organizing relief camps for flood-affected wildlife, where rescued animals receive medical care and rehabilitation before being reintroduced into the park once floodwaters recede.

• During floods, veterinary care is crucial, especially for injured or sick animals. Jungleciti collaborates with veterinarians and wildlife experts to provide emergency medical assistance to animals in distress.
• We ensure that mobile veterinary clinics are set up in flood-prone areas to provide immediate treatment for injured or malnourished animals, preventing the spread of diseases and ensuring the survival of rescued species.

• Jungleciti supports the installation and maintenance of flood-monitoring equipment, which provides real-time information on water levels and helps in the early detection of rising floodwaters.
• By closely monitoring water levels, Jungleciti works with the Forest Department to implement proactive measures, such as pre-emptive relocation of wildlife and evacuation plans to ensure the safety of animals and human life.

• Jungleciti actively engages local communities and villagers in flood mitigation efforts, educating them about the importance of flood preparation and wildlife safety. Local villagers are trained on how to assist in flood relief and report stranded animals, which ensures that wildlife is given timely attention and care.

While the monsoon floods are a critical challenge, Jungleciti Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. is committed to supporting wildlife conservation throughout the year. During normal days, we coordinate a variety of conservation efforts with the Assam Forest Department and local Forest Guards to ensure that the rich biodiversity of Kaziranga remains protected.

• Kaziranga is home to a large population of endangered species, such as the Indian Rhinoceros and Bengal Tiger, both of which are at risk from poaching. Jungleciti provides logistical and financial support to anti-poaching operations in the park.
• We help fund the forest guards' patrols and assist in surveillance operations to deter poaching activities, including the use of drones and cameras for monitoring and tracking wildlife movement.

• Jungleciti contributes to habitat restoration projects aimed at preserving the grasslands, wetlands, and riverine ecosystems that form the backbone of Kaziranga's wildlife habitat. We collaborate with the Forest Department and conservation NGOs to restore degraded areas and prevent the encroachment of agricultural lands into the park.
• We also support invasive species control programs that maintain the delicate balance of ecosystems, ensuring that native flora and fauna thrive.

• Jungleciti believes that community involvement is key to effective conservation. We work closely with local communities to promote sustainable practices and help them understand the value of preserving the park's natural resources.
• Through eco-tourism, we provide opportunities for local communities to benefit from the park’s conservation efforts, creating a positive feedback loop where tourism revenue supports both community development and wildlife protection.

• As part of our commitment to conservation, Jungleciti actively engages in educational outreach programs for tourists and local residents. These programs focus on raising awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and the need to protect Kaziranga’s endangered species.
• We collaborate with the Forest Department to organize workshops and seminars that provide visitors and local people with valuable information on eco-friendly practices and responsible tourism.

Jungleciti recognizes the crucial role that the Forest Guards and Assam Forest Department play in the daily conservation of Kaziranga’s wildlife. These dedicated individuals are on the frontlines, working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of the park's animals. To support their efforts, Jungleciti Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. provides:

• Training and Resources: We help provide regular training for forest guards on topics like wildlife protection, surveillance techniques, first aid, and sustainable tourism practices.
• Logistical and Financial Assistance: Jungleciti provides financial support for patrol vehicles, fuel, and communication tools that ensure forest guards can carry out their work effectively.
• Recognition and Welfare: We recognize the hard work of forest guards by supporting initiatives that provide for their welfare, including healthcare, insurance, and educational programs for their families.

In addition to working with the Assam Forest Department and Forest Guards, Jungleciti collaborates with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other conservation bodies dedicated to wildlife protection in Kaziranga. We share resources, knowledge, and manpower to conduct joint conservation initiatives, such as:

• Monitoring endangered species populations
• Restoring wildlife corridors
• Increasing public awareness through media campaigns

By collaborating with these NGOs, we ensure that Kaziranga's wildlife receives the best possible protection, both from immediate threats such as poaching and habitat loss, and from long-term challenges like climate change and human-wildlife conflict.

Jungleciti Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. remains deeply committed to the protection and conservation of Kaziranga National Park and its extraordinary wildlife. Through active collaboration with the Assam Forest Department, local Forest Guards, and conservation organizations, we strive to protect the park’s rich biodiversity, support the vital work of forest protection, and foster a culture of conservation within the local communities.

We believe that conservation is a shared responsibility, and by combining our efforts with those of local communities, tourists, and government agencies, we can ensure that Kaziranga remains a thriving sanctuary for endangered species and a model for eco-tourism and wildlife preservation for generations to come.
