Protecting the Majestic Van Bhainsa
The wild water buffalo, or Van Bhainsa, is a critically endangered species that calls the lush forests of Chhattisgarh its home. As a keystone species, it plays an essential role in maintaining the ecological balance. Yet, it faces grave threats from habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, and dwindling genetic diversity.

Raise Awareness:
Educate communities about the Van Bhainsa’s importance in the ecosystem and its endangered status.
Encourage Action:
Inspire individuals, organizations, and policymakers to contribute to conservation programs and sustainable living initiatives.
Promote Coexistence:
