Wildlife SOS

Centre Series: 1/10 India’s first and only Elephant Conservation and Care Centre (ECCC) was established in 2010 in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department.

Meet our Co-founder!💚 Kartick Satyanarayan is known for his efforts to resolve the illegal practice of ‘dancing’ bears in India. He is the Co-founder and the CEO of Wildlife SOS! Kartick focusses on the mitigation of human-wildlife conflict in India by conducting various awareness programs. He believes in the importance of educating people because that will not only help in conserving wildlife and nature, but will also lead to less cases of human-wildlife conflict.

It all started when a group of individuals, who were determined to conserve India’s rich natural heritage, came together in 1995, and began a rescue centre out of a small garage in Delhi. Today, Wildlife SOS has more than 300+ individuals working towards saving India’s wildlife, conserving habitats, conducting research and making a difference one step at a time.
