When they raise their trunk each time they sense that I am around, it makes me feel loved!

– Caretaker Babu Lal

Humans have a duty towards nature as we must give back to repay the debt. Protecting wildlife and forests is one way of doing this.

– CEO Kartick Satyanarayan

We, as humans, have a lot to learn from the nature that surrounds us! The leopards inspire me in every way.

– Caretaker Shivaji Modhe

Wildlife SOS is in a unique position to care for individual animals as well as an entire species.

– Co-Founder Geeta Seshamani

We should never harm wild animals, we should protect them because they are very important for supporting life on this planet.

– Caretaker Balu Mundhe

Our mission has three key areas of focus:

Conservation and protection of wild populations and habitat
Rescue of injured and displaced wildlife, and care for rehabilitated populations
Research to better protect and care for wildlife

But protecting and caring for wildlife isn’t enough. Lasting solutions also address alternative livelihoods for people and communities who have traditionally relied on wildlife exploitation to survive.

HISTORY

In 1995, our co-founders determined to conserve India’s rich natural heritage began operating a rescue centre out of a small garage in New Delhi. Their goal was simple – to aid wildlife in distress and expand India’s core value of the right to freedom and dignity to the realm of wild animals. Kartick Satyanarayan and Geeta Seshamani’s grit and determination gave birth to Wildlife SOS. Today, we have evolved into an organisation actively protecting India’s precious wildlife, conserving habitats, studying biodiversity, conducting research, and creating alternative and sustainable livelihoods for erstwhile poacher communities or those who depend on wildlife for sustenance. We are the largest wildlife rescue organisation in India and run 12 rescue and rehabilitation centres across the country.
