FLAGSHIP PROGRAMME
Eastern Dooars Elephant Corridors: Supporting Right of Passage
SPOAR works to understand changing movement routes, strengthen local preparedness and keep corridor conservation grounded in field evidence.
WHY CORRIDORS MATTER
Elephant corridors are living routes.
Elephant movement is shaped by memory, season, food, water, disturbance and the changing character of the landscape. Where movement routes narrow or shift, risks can increase for both people and elephants.
Conservation planning must listen to the landscape as it changes.
FIELD APPROACH
Monitor. Prepare. Collaborate.
Community response
QRT and PRT engagement, preparedness and practical awareness.
Institutional liaison
Stakeholder dialogue, issue escalation and realistic interventions.
PRIORITY LANDSCAPES
Five recurring corridor landscapes.
- IN-WB-01: Mahananda-Apalchand
- IN-WB-02: Apalchand-Gorumara
- IN-WB-03: Apalchand-Kalimpong via Sylee
- IN-WB-04: Apalchand-Kalimpong via Meenglass
