We have some great news to share with you on the occasion of #WorldTurtleDay!
The 12 #startortoises that were part of Phase-1 of our Satellite telemetry study are gradually adapting to life in the wild.
Over the past four months, we have been tracking their feeding ecology, movement pattern and have been able to learn more about their preferred microhabitats in this area. They have dispersed into different areas, to establish their own niche.
As we are using VHF (very high frequency) radio receivers, it requires us to physically track the animals on the field. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide lockdown to help counter this global health crisis, we've had to minimize our field activities. However, we continue to receive updates from our various project sites.

In February 2016, you helped us rescue a little bear cub named Rose. She was lost, alone, and had severed her front leg - likely the horrible toll of a poacher's snare.
With your support, and dedicated love and care from her caretakers, Rose began a remarkable turnaround, but even the most optimistic were shocked by what came next!
Wildlife SOS caught Rose taking to the trees! Climbing like every other bear even with only partial use of her front limb! This picture immortalizes one of Rose’s exploratory moments and is a testament to the will of power exhibited by her.
You can make it yours by placing your bids on the link in bio!

Barrel feeders are a form of enrichment employed at #WildlifeSOS rehabilitation centres that act as physical and mental stimulants. These structures are filled with fruits, dates and peanuts and the bears have to spin the barrel to get the treats out. Since not all the holes are equal in size, it can take some time before the barrel is empty. This enrichment encourages the bears to use tactical skills and their olfactory senses.
Enrichments form an incredibly important part of recuperation in captivity, and you can play an equally necessary role by sponsoring them for our bears in the Wildlife SOS ‘Bid to be Wild’ online auction.

Only 4 more days remain before the auction ends! Don’t miss out on unique products up for grabs on the website!
In lieu of #EndangeredSpeciesDay, here's some food for thought! There are nearly 2500 elephants in India, who suffer deprived lives in captivity giving tourists rides, performing at weddings, temples & begging on streets.
With a population of 23,000 to 27,000 Asian elephants, India remains the last stronghold of the species. Thus, the survival of the entire species is critically linked with its survival in India.
Thank you for making a difference! Because of your support, #WildlifeSOS now provides lifelong care to nearly 30 elephants rescued from various situations of captivity, and we will continue protecting and preserving these gentle giants with you by our side.

For everyone who is new to our page, we would like to introduce Hamsi, one of the bravest bears under our care! Hamsi’s story is one of great perseverance – from teetering on death’s door due to a gunshot wound to becoming one of the most vivacious inhabitants of the #BannerghattaBearRescueCentre, Hamsi has taken us all by awe!
As we keep reiterating, man-animal conflict is one of the biggest threats faced by the wildlife skirting urban landscapes. The wounds on Hamsi’s shoulders also narrated a story of conflict to the #WildlifeSOS veterinary team. Today, many years later, Hamsi’s transformation is unrecognisable, and complete.
Learn more about Hamsi on our website: www.wildlifesos.org

We’re home to about 60% of the earth’s remaining Asian elephant population and hence their protection & conservation is of utmost importance.
Yet, we continue to read about these gentle giants being exploited to entertain tourists, used in festival processions, logging activities and as props for the purpose of begging. A lot of these captive elephants are subjected to physical abuse, are overworked and starved.
@wildlifesos has been rescuing and rehabilitating elephants in distress, providing them a safe haven at their elephant sanctuaries in Haryana and Mathura. Not only do they take care of the rescued animal but help the mahouts find alternate sources of income.
In 2018, they even established India’s first elephant hospital designed to treat the ailing & injured elephants at their state-of-the-art facility.

Feeding Mia and Rhea with both hands!
Amidst nationwide lockdown and chaos, we feel so grateful to be blessed with such dedicated and passionate care staff.
Most of our keepers are voluntarily staying away from their families and taking care of our rescued animals.

For the elephants under our care, companionship aids psychological healing just as much as medical treatments do. In one such story of remarkable healing, Erika and Ella, have completed 7 years of this wonderful journey at the Wildlife SOS #ElephantRehabilitationCentre in Haryana!
Never leaving each other’s side, they enjoy their walks to the mud-bog together and love stealing their favourite bananas from each other’s fruit buckets!
As the world holds on to every speck of hope in these troubled times, every moment needs to be celebrated and this is indeed an elephantine moment to rejoice! Wishing Erika and Ella a very happy 7-year rescueversary!
