For years, Hati Bondhu has nurtured plantations and paddy fields that provide food and security to more than five hundred wild elephants that visit our conservation landscape. What began as an act of compassion has grown into a remarkable relationship of trust between humans and elephants. The elephants know these lands. They return season after season, confident that food awaits them. Through their behaviour, we witness an unspoken understanding—a bond built on care, consistency, and coexistence. This connection is the very heart of Hati Bondhu’s mission.
Behind this work stands a dedicated team whose lives are committed to the welfare and protection of elephants. Their tireless efforts ensure that these gentle giants continue to find nourishment, safety, and hope in a rapidly changing world. Today, we make a solemn pledge.
We will never allow the fields that sustain these elephants to disappear. We will never permit the plantations they depend upon to wither away. There must never come a day when an elephant arrives expecting food and finds only emptiness. Such a future is unthinkable. Our commitment extends beyond conservation; it is a promise of stewardship, responsibility, and love. We owe it to the elephants who trust us, to the communities who coexist with them, and to future generations who deserve to inherit a world where humans and elephants thrive together.

This is the sacred pledge of Hati Bondhu:

*We shall protect, preserve, and sustain the lands that feed and shelter these elephants. We shall stand by them in times of abundance and adversity. We shall never allow the chain of trust, compassion, and coexistence between Hati Bondhu and the elephants to be broken.*

As long as Hati Bondhu exists, this promise shall endure.
