The TOFT Forest Heroes Programme is a heartfelt initiative dedicated to recognising and supporting those who stand on the frontlines of human-wildlife conflict. These unsung heroes—forest guards, watchers, beat guards, and patrolling personnel—often risk their lives and livelihoods while protecting our forests and wildlife. Tragically, many of them become victims of the very conflict they strive to manage.

The primary objective of this programme is to provide immediate financial assistance and support to forest staff affected by such incidents. To ensure timely help reaches the right individuals, any member of the TOFT community, a local resident, or a stakeholder who has witnessed an incident can report it to us with supporting evidence. This community-led reporting system ensures that genuine cases do not go unnoticed.

We are deeply grateful to our supporters who believe in the value of this initiative. We invite further support from TOFT supporters, local communities, corporate sponsors, and compassionate individuals. If you wish to donate, please write to us at admin@toftindia.org.

At its core, the TOFT Forest Heroes Programme reflects the power of grassroots conservation. It empowers individuals and communities to protect nature, even amidst growing human-wildlife challenges. With your continued support, these forest heroes will remain steadfast guardians of our forests and biodiversity for generations to come.
