The Northeast India Elephant Conservation Alliance (NIECA) was established by a group of non-profit organisations on 30 April 2010 with the aim to secure the future of elephants in Northeast India through collaborative action.
Objectives
To join efforts and combine experiences and skills for the conservation of elephants in Northeast India
To share information and ideas, exchange know-how and insights, to enhance our collective capacity towards successful elephant conservation.
To prevent duplication of efforts or unnecessary trial-and-error where the experience of others can be applied
Benefits
Collectively, through an organised framework such as this alliance, member organisations can begin to tackle even the more challenging issues of elephant conservation – those that are too daunting or complex for one organisation to pursue alone
The organisations can pool together their skills and experiences, sharing information on best practice and providing advice, input or technical help to each other as needed, and in turn, make progress on objectives more quickly.
The organisations can act as a joint voice when needed, on issues where the opinion of several is more effective than one alone.
