Over 60 percent of this population is found in India, making the country critical to the species’ long-term survival. Indian elephant populations face significant threats, including habitat fragmentation, human-wildlife conflict, and the ongoing demand for elephants in captivity. Wildlife SOS is working to both improve the welfare of captive elephants as well as implementing creative strategies to protect them in the wild. Kartick Satyanarayan, a leading expert in this field, will share his insights and firsthand experiences in rescuing and safeguarding India's elephants. Kartick Satyanarayan, Co-Founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS is known for his efforts to resolve the illegal practice of "dancing" bears in India. He is focused on tackling wildlife conservation issues through biodiversity conservation, protecting habitat and creating conservation and education programs to mitigate human-wildlife conflict in India. In 1995, he founded the charity Wildlife SOS India (wildlifesos.org) with Geeta Seshamani that runs several projects to support wildlife conservation in India including the largest rehabilitation center in the world for Sloth bears and the first ever Elephant Hospital in India. Wildlife SOS works with indigenous communities and in partnership with the Indian Government to tackle the increasing human-wildlife conflict through awareness. Kartick is an Honorary Wildlife Warden of Delhi, member of the state wildlife advisory board, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh, Member - Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, Member - Central Zoo Authority, and Member of the Leopard Conflict committee of the National Tiger Conservation Authority of India.  He is a recipient of the San Diego Zoo Global Conservation Medal for “Conservation in Action” (2018) and has been felicitated with the Maharana Udai Singh Award, 2019, for conservation, and community rehabilitation work.

Lara Deeb is Laura Vausbinder Hockett Endowed Chair, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology and the Program in MENA Studies at Scripps College. In addition to numerous articles and chapters, Deeb is the author or co-author of four books.
