***Annoucement***
For reasons given in the last LifeForce Report 2019 – 20 (see Annual Reports page) LifeForce is closing down after 25 years of trying to help with tiger conservation in particular and alleviating the environmental crisis in general. The good news is that, due to shared experiences on the ground in India, LifeForce can whole-heartedly recommend the Satpuda Foundation to further both causes and sincerely and urgently requests that you support their continuing work in India. Again, all relevant details are in the last report.
