At Hyderabad Tiger Conservation Society (HyTiCoS), we believe that the conservation of wildlife must go hand-in-hand with the protection of “Local Community.”
We believe that active involvement of local communities, schools, and organizations fosters a deep-rooted understanding of environmental challenges and the importance of sustainable practices. Through educational programs, village discussions, and city-based events, we aim to build a coalition of individuals and groups dedicated to protecting our wildlife and natural resources.
Spreading awareness through educational event
Sharing and consolidating knowledge with our Community Partners
Empowering Local Communities
Our initiatives include regular meetings where we discuss the effects of deforestation, grazing, and encroachment, helping residents see the benefits of a balanced ecosystem. In addition, we support communities considering relocation to ensure their transition is smooth and beneficial.
Our commitment to community welfare also extends to sanitation and infrastructure. We are actively involved in the construction of 120 toilets in Gundala under the Swachh Bharat Mission, improving public health and hygiene. In collaboration with the forest department, we have contributed to making the Peddaiah temple area a plastic- and alcohol-free zone, a move that not only benefits the environment but also fosters a cleaner, healthier community.
Our engagement extends to colleges as well, where we frequently work with students from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in Hyderabad and the Forestry College and Research Institute in Mulugu. Through lectures, workshops, and interactive discussions on forest conservation and social development, we introduce students to the challenges and rewards of conservation work, preparing them for future roles in environmental protection.
