The Daily Guardian|August 31, 2024

Assam: Anti-elephant seasonal solar fence helps Mirza farmers reap good harvest

The local community of Gosaihat village near Maliata reserve of Palashbari Range Forest, Mirza, installed a low-cost seasonal solar fence in November 2023 to protect the vast crop field with the technical guidance of the Aaranyak team and the collaborative support of Aaranyak and WWF. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has supported the Aaranyak initiative here.

The Aaranyak team initially trained the local community of Gosaihat on solar fence management and operation. Eventually, a lowcost community-managed solar fence was successfully installed on an experimental basis.
