Wildlife SOS not only focuses on the conservation of wildlife but also the environment that supports them. With a conscious step towards biodiversity conservation, Wildlife SOS has initiated the Rewild for Wildlife project to plant native trees in three locations — Ramdurga in Karnataka, the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Mathura and the Agra Bear Rescue Facility in Agra.
Trees, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, play a crucial role in sustaining life on land. Trees are needed now more than ever to mitigate climate change and enhance wildlife habitats. From carbon sequestering to controlling soil erosion, trees play a crucial role in managing and balancing an ecosystem. Sadly, over the last two decades, India has lost 2.33 million hectares of tree cover.
The depletion of forest cover results has led to adverse effects that include desertification, loss of water resources and fragmentation of habitats for wildlife. This disruption threatens the survival of species that could ultimately lead to their extinction. Therefore, to address the impacts, Wildlife SOS’s project Rewild for Wildlife focuses on the reforestation of local trees that can rebuild habitats to support wildlife populations.
WIldlife SOS makes it simple for everyone to contribute towards environment conservation. Every donation made will result in the planting of a tree that would help in restoring ecosystems for biodiversity to thrive. So, come forward and plant a tree with Wildlife SOS to take a step towards positive environmental impact.
