Calling Bangalore 4x4 owners - Help with wildlife conservation

M P Sreenivasan · 26th February 2020, 08:49

Hi, 4x4 vehicle owners of Bangalore origin, I have a concept of using 4x4 vehicles for wildlife conservation activity, basically the forest department has limited number of vehicles this is a set back when faced with fire hazards and human wildlife encounters, this mainly take place during peak summer season, to address this I have discussed with the department to provide 4x4 vehicles for effective and efficient movement of forest staff to attend to distress calls, they have accepted my offer,for this I need 4x4 vehicle with the person driving it, so 4x4 owners who are willing to take part in this noble cause can contact me to take the things forward, hope I will get the needed support, this is mutually beneficial proposition as the owner will be driving in the area where no other normal public has access.

Brilliant initiative. I wish I was in BLR to help you out! If any such initiative near Mumbai and Pune, please count me in.

One advice I'd like to give: Take only like minded people. You don't want it to become an OTR with loud music and loud exhaust vehicles rampaging in the wild!

This is a fantastic initiative! If only I had a 4x4, I would have certainly joined. I hope I can buy a Jimny soon and be a part of these efforts.

Do keep us updated about the initiative. Follow up posts would be much appreciated in the community.

I am interested.
Would like to know more details on how long is the expected duration of this support?
Is the support only during the weekends or is it during Weekdays too?
