On the occasion of World CSR Day, The Corbett Foundation receives a "Certificate of Merit" during the World CSR Congress held in Mumbai on 18 February 2016. We take this opportunity to thank the organizers of this event and all our corporate partners, who have supported us in the past and continue supporting our grassroots conservation and sustainable development projects.

TCF has joined Sanctuary Asia in a campaign against Thailand's major tourist attraction, the infamous 'Tiger Temple' - it holds atleast 147 tigers captive and is a cover for the confinement, neglect and abuse of its tigers, while also secretly feeding the international illegal tiger trade market. Thousands of tourists unwittingly contribute to these horrors every year. Tiger Temple has now applied for a zoo license that will sanction the housing of atleast 500 tigers!! The hashtag #TigerTempleTakedown persuades past tourists to remove photographs clicked at Tiger Temple from social media, disuades potential tourists from visiting this "attraction" and is an effort  to ultimately shut down this venture.

TCF-Kanha distributed solar lights to the villagers of Bhursatola in the Garhi Range of Kanha Tiger Reserve, Tingatola and Chhipitola, through a generous donation by Mr. Goculdas. A joint medical and awareness programme was also conducted. These villages, primarily inhabited by the Baiga tribe, are not connected to grid electricity. These solar lights will bring several benefits to such villages and improve their standard of living. Many such villages in interior forested areas still remain disconnected from basic amenities. The Corbett Foundation greatly appreciates support from individual and corporate donors to this end.
