Many bears at our rescue facilities suffer from impaired vision, a tragic consequence of their past as ‘dancing’ bears. Besides old age, several other factors have contributed to their vision loss:
Physical injuries: Ropes were inserted into the muzzles of ‘dancing’ bears, causing them to rub against the bears` eyes. This constant friction led to corneal ulcers and severe pain, contributing to vision impairment.
Physiological impact: Sloth bears are nocturnal and naturally rest during the day. Forced to perform in bright sunlight for long hours, these bears experienced retinal detachment and vision loss due to excessive light exposure.
Malnourishment: In the wild, sloth bears have a diverse diet of plants, flowers, seeds, insects, and honey. In captivity, the Kalandars provided poor nutrition, leading to internal imbalances and health issues, including blindness.

The southern regions of the country are welcoming monsoons with a big cheer!
At the Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre (BBRC), Chitra, our shy, elderly sloth bear loves spending time inside her lush, green enclosure. The area offers a tranquil and serene environment for her and other bears here who are under long-term care at Wildlife SOS.
Watch to see how the 23-year-old ursine spends her day at her enclosure!💚

The word ‘Suraj’ translates to sun, and this name fits aptly for our 54-year-old resident elephant!
With the arrival of the monsoon season, and the hot sun fading, Suraj has started going on his walks again to embrace the cloudy weather and the refreshing breeze.
Swipe to see our majestic elephant enjoying the scenery at the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre (ECCC) in Mathura.💚

Wildlife SOS has been dedicated to conservation education for many years, conducting awareness programs in schools in multiple states of India.
Recently, sessions were held in Jay Malhar High school and Shree Datt High school in Maharashtra focusing on leopard conflict mitigation.
Students learned about the importance of taking precautions to avoid encounters with leopards, such as staying in groups when travelling at night and avoiding known leopard areas. Key facts about leopards, such as their lifespan, development stages, and behaviour were also discussed.
Here’s a glimpse of over 1000 students being educated by Wildlife SOS’s Project Manager, Mr. Mahendra Balu Dhore. If you too are interested in having us conduct awareness or training sessions led by our team of professionals, please contact us at info@wildlifesos.org.

Wait for Bani to unlock her achievement!
Building enrichments for an elephant calf, a first for our team, has been nothing short of exhilarating and challenging at the same time for our team.
These enrichments stimulate both play and cognitive growth for baby Bani and are mini versions of the enrichments built for the adult elephants under our care.
Watch how Bani concentrates and engages with her enrichments!

It is often observed that individuals who have endured the same traumatic experiences tend to form stronger bonds. For our rescued elephant Emma, who was once a begging elephant, introduction to her now two best friends Maya and Phoolkali, exemplifies this.
Maya was rescued from a circus and Phoolkali was also a begging elephant, both having faced years of brutality and cruelty.
With temperatures reaching more than 40 degree celsius in North India, our team at the Elephant Conservation and Care Center, in Mathura, are implementing a summer management protocol to provide comfort to our resident elephants. This protocol includes sprinklers in the enclosures, a new diet plan as well as comforting enrichments in each enclosure.
