Dear Team,
Empower foundation has been involved in Strategic and Policy level initiatives of Govt of India. For eg. we were instrumental in the formation of the Youth Policy for Govt of Maharashtra and Govt of India.
Similarly, on Leopard conservation, wehere we have been working, there is an opportunity on Policy level decision making. We might not be able to make the same, but ofcourse can trigger the same. As you all are aware that there is something called "Project Tiger". There are huge funds available to protect and conserve the Tiger. There is a huge recognition from Indian corporates and dignitaries on the same (Save the Tiger, NDTV, Amitabh Bachchan etc)
Like, Project Tiger, I came across something called Project Elephant also !!! .
Please refer.

As far as what I could gather, there is nothing on Leopard very specifically...as a Project as large as Elephant or Tigers and am sure no earmarked funds !! Havent yet been able to find something on Leopard, besides some papers of GOI on Conflict etc. Suggest that Team Empower represents to the Govt of Maharashtra and Govt of India to look at PROJECT LEOPARD. This is an important Policy level decision and requires good online / internet based research on Leopards in India, Asia and abroad. We will get a lot of content online and thus we need to create an analytical project proposal and meet / fwd it to Ms. Jayanthi Natarajan, Hon'ble Minister of Env & Forests, Govt. of India and also to Shri Patangrao Kadam, Hon'ble Minister at Maharashtra with a presentation on the same.
What we need to cover, is what we will discuss as a Core team. But ideally it should cover the background, data available, Issues, Confict situations, Recommendation (This is the most important aspect)
Propose a 2 member team to work on this issue, which will involve netbased research and findings and putting int into a proposal, which our Core team would discuss, edit and formalize into a main proposal. We will need to do this project under strict confidentiality of the Core team with a deadline of 30 days. ie. Our report to be mailed to the Ministers by March 1, 2013. Media would cover this initiative. And the same can be followed up with the Ministry to some conclusion. This way, there can be some positive impact for Leopard- the poor cousin of the Tiger, who takes away most of the funds... have no issues in that, but our friend should also get its due !!!
Look forward to hear from all on this and also, who would want to Co-chair this initiative.
