1-year-old Baby Bani was found injured and paralysed after being hit by a speeding train in Haldwani, Uttarakhand. It has been over a month since Bani was brought to India’s first elephant hospital established by Wildlife SOS.
After weeks of medical diagnosis and treatment by our veterinarians and caregivers, Bani has shown gradual progress. Now, this little bundle of joy is known for her quirky nature and our team absolutely loves it.
Despite being a rock and showing tremendous determination and willpower, Bani still has a long way to go and will require years of expert care in terms of her recovery.
You can take action now and adopt Bani.

Taj and Tara`s Tender Tale
Two cherished companions, Taj and Tara, have been gradually healing under the love and care of our caregivers and veterinarians. Their once low appetite now thrives with probiotics, rich nutrients and ongoing treatments to ensure stability.
They venture together on long walks, forage on the fresh grass, and offer solace to one another with tender trunk embraces. Tara, serene and composed, often seeks comfort in Taj`s reassuring presence. The two have come a long way, slowly but surely making progress.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who generously donated and contributed to their journey.

Since its acquisition by Wildlife SOS in 2007, the land near Ramdurga, Karnataka, has undergone a remarkable transformation for ecosystem restoration. Previously barren and affected by encroachment, illegal hunting, forest fires, and deforestation, the area is now thriving, thanks to the dedicated team of Wildlife SOS for setting up patrol guards and ensuring a successful restoration of this land.
As the Ramdurga habitat restoration project continues to make strides, Wildlife SOS requests you to make a meaningful impact in safeguarding these invaluable habitats and the species that call them home.

How is Bani today, you ask? - Bani’s life changed in an instant when she was hit by a speeding train. As we have gotten to know this boisterous little elephant, she has shown us she’s determined to live.
Adopt Bani here: wildlifesos.org/bani [LINK IN BIO]
Today, Bani has the endurance to stand for 4-6 hours. However, because of her weak hind legs, she needs assistance from staff and soft padded equipment around her. This ensures that she doesn’t lose her balance and fall over. Bani’s hind leg muscles have some ability to stabilise her joints, but currently are not showing voluntary isolated movements. What this means is she can’t advance her hind legs to take a step. Clearly, Bani’s situation frustrates her because she badly wants to explore her world but her little body just won’t cooperate … at least not yet.
Bani has a long, long recovery ahead and needs DAILY intensive treatments. With your help, we can bring in expert neurologists and physiotherapists to support our own medical team. Will you help with a monthly pledge to adopt Bani today?
Adopt Bani here: wildlifesos.org/bani [LINK IN BIO]
This little elephant is a fighter. Will you stand with Bani and adopt this orphan? We need 100 more monthly donors to come forward – will you be one of them? Together, we can give Bani a fighting chance to one day walk again.

Wildlife SOS was honoured to host Sandra Alvarado, Miss World Ecuador 2024. She visited the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre for an education tour and spend some time with the elephants under our care. She was also engaged in informative sessions and understood the history of our rescued elephants. Later, she had the opportunity to visit Agra Bear Rescue Facility and got to know about the cruel ‘dancing’ bear trade in India, and how Wildlife SOS resolved this 400-years-old barbaric practice by rescuing these sloth bears..
Sandra’s dedication to raise awareness about the plight of endangered animals is commendable. The involvement of passionate individuals like her is a promising contribution towards wildlife conservation.

This is a story about Bani, a baby elephant who was barely a year old, when found injured and paralysed after being hit by a speeding train.
Upon reaching India’s First Elephant hospital and after an in-depth diagnosis, Bani came bearing deep injuries on her hind limbs and hip joint that needed immediate critical care. This made bearing weight on her feet impossible. She was unable to move.
After weeks of hard work and dedication by our team, Bani is slowly showing signs of improvement. She is receiving round-the-clock care – an amalgamation of modern techniques along with ancient ayurvedic treatment. From our global team of veterinarians meticulously tending to her medical needs to caregivers offering comfort and support 24X7, baby Bani still has a long way to go and will require years of expert care.
Take action today and adopt Bani.
She needs us now, more than ever. https://wildlifesos.org/bani
Stand with Bani!
After weeks of physiotherapy, Bani is now trying to practise balancing on her own legs which was celebrated with cheers and an enthusiastic dust bath!
It takes about a dozen caregivers to get her up, and she still can’t walk or even bring herself up from a seated position, but we are seeing small improvements every day.
We’ve got an elephant hospital and a global team of expert veterinarians, but Bani needs you to help with her costly round-the-clock care!
The intensive care Bani is receiving is working slowly and she needs new monthly supporters to come to her rescue by adopting her and clicking on the link in bio!

The unheard stories of the Kalandar women are truly the most inspiring ones, and today, on the occasion of Women’s day, we share some of our favourite stories with you!💚

Bani lost her herd and possibly her ability to walk again by a speeding train.
She can’t stand or even sit up on her own, so once the “little” (300kg) elephant calf is helped upright, our dedicated team of caregivers and veterinarians move her to a specially constructed area where she is surrounded by soft supportive pillows, giving her the opportunity to practise putting weight on her feet.
Plus, for Bani, it’s an opportunity for a banana treat and a good dust bath!
Become a part of Bani’s new herd by adopting her with a monthly donation. Your monthly pledge of $12 or more will help provide the critical care this little orphaned elephant needs. Link in bio!

Homecoming of a 5 day old cub to its mother!
The reunion of leopard cubs with their mothers is crucial for maintaining a healthy population of leopards, as it offers them a second chance to thrive in the wild. Recently, a 5-day-old male leopard cub was discovered in a sugarcane field in Maharashtra. Wildlife SOS, in collaboration with the Maharashtra Forest Department, successfully reunited the cub with its mother after conducting a thorough onsite examination.
If a leopard cub is lost or orphaned, it is highly unlikely for the cub to survive in the wild without its mother. Due to the diligent efforts of our team, this cub now has a second chance at life.
Watch a glimpse of the heartfelt reunion here.
