COOL MEASURES FOR RESIDENTS ON HOT DAYS

Our caregivers are always thinking of new ways to create mentally stimulating enrichments for our residents. Here Cupid climbs a tree to get to a cool popsicle treat. Cupid gets good exercise and a healthy snack while she beats the heat.

 

Mercury levels are hitting records of up to 49°C in the hotter parts of India. Since much of the country is in the tropics, the summer season can be difficult. The dedicated team at Wildlife SOS ensures that a summer care plan is implemented to help our elephants and bears beat the heat.

COCO THEN AND NOW

Before her rescue at the tender age of just 11 years old, Coco was beaten until she performed unnatural tricks for spectators at a circus. During those formative years of her life, she had only known cruelty and abuse. But just look at her now! Coco& was rescued in 2015 with three other members of the "nut herd, Peanut, Walnut and Macadamia."

A GUIDE TO ETHICAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

With each stride in the forests, we are creating an impact. You may be causing immense stress to the wild animal you're targeting (with your camera). As a natural response, their behaviour gets disrupted due to the presence of any unexpected intruder. Read our guide to ethical wildlife photography.

THE SOCIETY OF RHESUS MACAQUES

A famous African proverb states that "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." These words on the power of community speak of a mechanism commonly applied by us humans. Social bonds enrich our lives with sensitivity and an intense will to survive.

More legal barriers for Rosie the elephant

Unfortunately, our efforts to quickly bring Rosie to the safety of our Elephant Hospital Campus are on hold for now while we address legal challenges by those who kept her illegally. We are fighting relentlessly for her in court! We wish we could say more, but since the matter is sub judice, we can't give more details as that could impact the proceedings. We will continue to do everything we can to help poor Rosie and assist the Forest Department in enforcing the law. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
