Project Lead – MOVE-MP (Monitoring and Understanding Vital Elephant Movement in Madhya Pradesh)
MOVE-MP (Monitoring and Understanding Vital Elephant Movement in Madhya Pradesh) is a partnership between the Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) and the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department (MPFD) to address the state’s human-elephant (HEC) conflict across Umaria, Shahdol, Anuppur, Sidhi, and Satna districts and the buffer zones of Bandhavgarh and Sanjay Tiger Reserves. The project runs the Gajrakshak elephant monitoring platform, a dedicated Elephant Monitoring Cell (EMC), satellite telemetry, and frontline capacity-building, with the goal of transform HEC response from reactive to predictive.
The Project Lead will drive execution of MOVE-MP’s Year-2 work plan on the ground — turning the monitoring infrastructure built in Year-1 into an operating early warning and conflict-response system. This is a hands-on delivery and coordination role based at the Bandhavgarh EMC hub, with substantial field travel across all seven project districts.
