About
Wildlife SOS is a wildlife conservation and rescue organisation focused on the rehabilitation of distressed and abused wild animals in India, with elephants, sloth bears and leopards among its primary areas of work. The organisation operates a network of rescue and rehabilitation centres across the country, working in formal cooperation with state forest departments to respond to rescue calls, provide veterinary care, and support long-term rehabilitation of rescued wildlife. It is best known for ending the illegal practice of forcing sloth bears to perform as dancing bears, rehabilitating hundreds of rescued bears in the process. Beyond direct rescue work, Wildlife SOS runs conservation education initiatives for schools and youth groups, has supported thousands of children from communities once dependent on wildlife exploitation, and offers volunteering programs that give participants hands-on exposure to animal care and rehabilitation work under expert supervision.
