Species Conservation
One of HEAL’s major initiatives is the bringing an end to the large-scale killing of protected wildlife that happens every year, over several days, under the garb of tradition and culture. HEAL uses a combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches to enforce wildlife protection and make communities to give up hunting.
