FIELD-BASED WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Protecting wildlife. Securing shared landscapes.

SPOAR works where wildlife, roads, farms, forests, tea landscapes and communities meet. Through rescue, field evidence, training, coexistence initiatives and sustained collaboration, we turn conservation concern into practical action.

OUR WORK

Field programmes with long-term purpose.

SPOAR works across immediate response and long-term prevention, connecting local knowledge with evidence, public participation and institutional follow-through.

FLAGSHIP 01

Supporting Right of Passage for Elephants

Across the Eastern Dooars, elephant movement routes intersect with rivers, tea estates, roads, settlements and changing land use. Our multi-year corridor work brings together monitoring, community preparedness and evidence-led advocacy.

FLAGSHIP 02

Reducing Wildlife Deaths on the Road

Traffic through the Gorumara landscape places wildlife at risk. SPOAR documents roadkill, supports practical mitigation and keeps public and institutional attention on preventable loss.

EVIDENCE THAT GUIDES ACTION

Field records become stronger decisions.

Field signs, photographs, maps, survey records, rescue registers and community observations help build a clearer picture of conservation challenges. Evidence is not an endpoint. It is a way to improve decisions and sustain attention.

  • +Document carefully.
    Build records that are useful beyond the first moment of concern.
  • +Share responsibly.
    Protect sensitive wildlife, personal and operational details.
  • +Act collaboratively.
    Connect evidence to institutions, communities and realistic interventions.
