In fulfilling our mission and vision VFAES will:

1

Create elephant corridors and restore their lost habitat to protect Asian elephants in collaboration with the state forest departments

2

Alleviate HEC through capacity building and training programs for the local communities living on the forest fringes, and creating sustainable communities

3

Provide the native people near the forest fringes basic necessities and survival tools like flashlights, the first line of defense to protect themselves and elephants

4

Organize youth empowerment programs to cultivate empathy and compassion for elephants, and empower them to pursue ecological studies and elephant conservation

5

Conduct sensitization workshops for bureaucrats, law enforcement authorities, religious institutions, and decision makers, to advocate for legislative changes in tackling wildlife crime and ending elephant capture

6

Provide capacity building and hands-on training for elephant handlers (mahouts) to foster compassionate treatment of captive elephants, in collaboration with forest departments across states that house captive elephants
