NirvanoShaKinga™ – Humane, Nature-Powered Harmony
NirvanoShaKinga™ is a low-cost, nature-powered field-protection concept designed to help rural farming communities reduce crop loss from elephants and other wildlife — without using electric fences, noise-based deterrents, chemicals, or any form of harm.
Instead of escalating conflict, ShaKinga™ supports peaceful coexistence by using gentle, natural environmental cues that wildlife instinctively recognise and respond to. It is simple, sustainable, and designed for local construction.
Human–wildlife conflict continues to threaten both farmer livelihoods and conservation efforts. Existing deterrents often come with significant challenges:
• Electric fencing: expensive, power-dependent, and can increase aggression
• Chili or beehive fences: effective but labour-intensive and not suitable everywhere
• Noise or fire-based methods: stressful to wildlife and require constant human effort
• Chemical/scent deterrents: recurring cost and variable reliability
Many communities need protection tools that are:
affordable
non-electric
non-harmful
reliable
and maintainable using local materials
ShaKinga™ is a passive, wind-powered, non-electric tool designed to help create a gentle environmental “buffer” around crops. It is:
non-harmful and safe for all wildlife
entirely non-electrical
locally buildable using bamboo, wood, clay, and other accessible materials
repairable and maintainable within the community
suitable for multi-species conflicts, including elephants, buffalo, primates, antelope, and common crop-raiding mammals
