Women in Manipur are receiving livelihood training from WII to generate income while supporting the conservation of the endangered Sangai deer.
WII, a women‑focused organization, has begun a livelihood training program in Manipur aimed at helping local women earn sustainable income.
The initiative focuses on skills that complement the conservation of the Sangai, the state’s iconic deer species found only in the Keibul Lamjao National Park.
Participants learn a range of alternative livelihoods, including eco‑friendly crafts and small‑scale tourism services, designed to reduce pressure on forest resources.
By equipping women with marketable skills, WII hopes to create a community‑driven model that benefits both people and the Sangai’s fragile habitat.
