WILD SEVE

Prodcued by Prakash Mata (India)
Bandipur and Nagarahole National Parks are home to the highest densities of big cats and elephants globally. People living adjacent to these parks frequently experience crop and property damage, livestock predation and occasionally are injured or killed. Wild Seve is a mobile platform that allows affected people to call in and report conflict incidents. This film captures the lives of people as they cope with their losses and documents the efforts of the Wild Seve team to respond and assist them.
