Guwahati: A group of community leaders, known as Village Champions (VCs), from human-elephant conflict (HEC) affected areas in Assam and Meghalaya participated in an exposure visit to the Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong landscape from April 4 to 7.

The initiative was organised as part of the “Journey for Learning,” a community-based eco-cultural tourism programme facilitated by Aaranyak and the British Asian Trust, with support from the Darwin Initiative.

The Village Champions, trained to promote human-elephant coexistence and empowered to monitor HEC, play a vital role in bolstering conservation efforts in their communities.

This educational trip was designed to enhance their understanding of biodiversity conservation, eco-tourism, and sustainable livelihoods.

The tour included visits to Phumen Engti and Hemai Lekthe villages in Karbi Anglong, where the team engaged in eco-cultural village walks and forest treks.

The group interacted with the local Karbi community to learn about agroforestry, sericulture, handicrafts, and traditional cooking methods.

A morning safari in Kaziranga National Park provided an opportunity to observe the park’s rich biodiversity and understand its management practices.

The team also met with local entrepreneurs involved in “Pirbi,” a community-led business initiative, to explore how traditional knowledge and sustainable practices support livelihoods.

Visits to a community nursery and the Orchid and Biodiversity Park further enriched the learning experience.

Aaranyak officials, including Dr. Jayanta Roy and other team members, facilitated the trip, emphasising the importance of community-driven initiatives in conserving biodiversity and improving human-wildlife coexistence.

The visit was described as a transformative experience for the Village Champions, broadening their perspective on eco-tourism and sustainable development.
