Just a clip of Laxmi going gaga over bananas, a perfect sight to beat your midweek slumps!
There is nothing that Laxmi loves more than munching on bananas, not just one or two but a bunch of them! While on her daily walks, during refreshing pool baths, or for steady cooperation in the toenail trimming sessions — bananas are the way to go.
Please consider becoming a part of Laxmi’s journey by sponsoring her and supporting her care at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Centre, where she takes strong steps to recovery!

Sloth bears are one of the most unique and interesting bear species that you can find, with their shaggy fur, playful grunts and insect-based diets. Rose and Elvis, who arrived at the Agra Bear Rescue Facility in 2015 and 2016 respectively, have become a crucial part of the Wildlife SOS family with their daily escapades!
Though unsociable at first, Rose slowly adjusted to her new life after losing her paw to a hunting trap. Rose and Elvis soon joined forces to take down all the enrichments the bear care team set up. This formidable duo cooperates with each other to scoop up nuts and jaggery chunks placed in their hanging log enrichments at record speed. The bear caregivers are constantly on their toes, working hard with the volunteers to come up with more challenging enrichment ideas for the duo to play with.
If you would like to volunteer with us to make enrichments for Rose and Elvis, email us at volunteer@wildlifesos.org or head to our website to know more!

Meet Nina, our introverted resident who starts her day by scooping up some mud and taking a refreshing mud bath to cool off from the tropical heat. This is followed by a morning walk, and a nutritious breakfast of fresh greens and fruits which is hand fed to her by her caregiver. As the day progresses, the veterinarian pays her a visit to give her a medicated foot bath and some laser therapy sessions. She is wonderfully patient and cooperative throughout it all!
Afterwards, she spends her time exploring the lush greenery and going on a leisurely evening walk. Life at the centre may be routine, but for Nina, every moment is a reminder that she is safe and sound 🐘❤️
Please consider sponsoring Nina’s care and medical treatments!

In India, leopard cubs face a daunting and often fatal crisis. Many are abandoned by their mothers due to human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss and untimely deaths, and are left to fend for themselves in a hostile and dangerous environment. Shivani, a lucky survivor, was found in a sugarcane field and brought to the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre for lifelong care, but for many cubs, their future only holds starvation, disease, and poaching.
The plight of these vulnerable cubs is a sobering reminder of the urgent need to protect and conserve India's rich wildlife heritage. You can support our efforts by inviting our team to hold educational awareness sessions in your school or institution. To know more, email us at education@wildlifesos.org

Many of our rehabilitated elephants have a history of being used for processions and rituals that required them to walk on hot concrete roads day in and day out. Unfortunately, this has left them with extremely compromised feet condition, where most of them suffer from painful abscesses, worn foot pads, overgrown toenails, infection, arthritis, and altered gait.
To provide them some relief, our veterinary team and elephant care staff have introduced measures, ranging from leisurely walks on soft grass and toenail trimming sessions to medical foot bath and use of organic substances. Here's a glimpse of the foot care and treatment provided to all the elephants at Wildlife SOS!
Please consider supporting our work and providing the care that these gentle giants truly deserve. Link in bio!

Roaming across the continent, Asian elephants traverse from one forest patch to another in search of food and water. They often venture into agricultural lands and human-dominated areas to satiate their hefty appetite. In addition to the rampant habitat loss, this leads to human-wildlife conflict, primarily in the form of crop-raiding.
The Wildlife SOS team, along with scientists from WWF and BNHS, undertook a path-breaking research to understand crop-raiding patterns of elephant herds and protective measures put forth by the locals. Our team has also been actively working towards mitigating human-elephant conflict in various parts of Chhattisgarh, along with awareness sessions that suggest steps to reduce conflict.
