Conservation
of Manas has been a priority area for Dolphin Foundation since the year
2000. The Foundation was only organization that started to work on Manas,
specially on the community inter-phase aspects, after the decade long
ethnic unrest. The organization has been successful in achieving the
goal it set for this great park and most importantly, its program for
Manas restoration was the ice-breaker in restarting the conservation
movement to bring back the park to its original place of glory.
Moreover, the integrated approach of the Foundation was also the path
shower as well as the confidence building program for other conservation
organizations of the region, who have now come forward in a great way to
work for the restoration of the park.
The Manas Conservation program of Dolphin Foundation is an integrated
approach to conserve the endangered and endemic species and their
precious habitat in the park, with special focus on conservation of
Tiger, Asian Elephant, Rhino, Primates and Avifauna and their habitat
through development, participation, motivation, HRD of the fringe
village communities living at the vicinity of the park. Alternative
sustainable livelihood generation for the forest dependent fringe
village communities has been a major activity of the current program
along with the conservation education initiatives.
