What We Do

With a view to creating a replicable model for effective conservation, improved education and human-snake conflict mitigation, The Liana Trust works in these three interconnected verticals to bring about change at a community and landscape level. Focussing in the region directly surrounding our base, we are able to implement conservation processes in the otherwise high-conflict zone surrounding the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve in Karnataka, India. Our aim is to articulate and demonstrate this model by 2028.

Growing Our Wilderness

Being a stone’s throw away from one of the most dense tiger populations on the planet has revealed the urgent need for extensive conservation action in the agricultural landscapes that fringe the Nagarahole Tiger Reserve.

Human-Snake Conflict Mitigation

Snakes thrive in agricultural landscapes and conflict is high with an estimated one million people getting bitten every year in India. To co-exist, an understanding of how to mitigate risk and a shift in both mindset and habit are key.

Rural Education Reform

We hope to enable a generation of care-takers for nature; because only what we feel compassion & wonder for, are we moved to protect & conserve. Often communities living around wild spaces lack access to relevant, inspiring education.
