What we do
Snakes and crocodiles, injured birds, animals down a borewell, and the education work that means fewer of them get hurt in the first place.
Our work
The team carries out rescues of snakes, monitor lizards, crocodiles, mongooses, nilgai, porcupines, monkeys, cows, dogs, cats, pigs and a wide range of bird species.
For the medical treatment, care and rehabilitation of the wildlife and domestic animals we rescue, we work together with the Forest Department, veterinary and animal husbandry hospitals, and local NGOs. Once an animal or bird has fully recovered, we release it safely back into its natural habitat.
Our team works to carry out rescues anywhere and at any hour, in both urban and rural areas.
-
Snake and reptile rescue
Snakes, monitor lizards and crocodiles removed safely from homes, wells and building sites at any hour, then released into habitat that suits the species.
-
Urban and domestic animals
Cows, dogs, cats and pigs, and the wildlife that strays into the city — monkeys, mongooses, nilgai and porcupines.
-
Bird rescue and Karuna Abhiyan
Kite-string injuries, summer heat and fallen fledglings. Camps treating injured birds have run every year for the past ten years.

Animals trapped in wells, storm-water and sewer lines, fallen into borewells, or caught in nets and mesh. Around 3,000 of these operations so far.
