June brought the onset of the monsoon in West Bengal, and with it, a surge in wildlife emergencies. From snakes seeking refuge in homes to young birds displaced by storms, our Animal Protector Program was on the ground, ensuring swift and compassionate responses to every call.
This month we rescued and rehabilitated 61 animals
With increased rainfall and changing habitats, June posed new challenges — but also brought opportunities to build trust between people and wildlife.
This June, 54 interventions took place with 61 animals rescued and rehabilitated.
Read two standout rescue stories that define our work this month.
Snakes in the Storm: Community Awareness Saves Lives
- Banded Krait Rescues (6 Individuals)
- Locations: Alipurduar & Coochbehar
- Dates: 08–28 June 2025
As rainwater entered burrows and fields, snakes like cobras, red coral kukris, and kraits sought dry shelter — often in homes and residential areas. We rescued over 40 snakes this month, thanks to vigilant citizens who understood that killing snakes is not only illegal but ecologically harmful.
All six kraits were safely rescued and released on the same day.
People didn’t panic or harm the snakes – they called us immediately. That’s the impact of years of awareness,
Awareness works. Compassion saves. Each rescue is a testament to the growing harmony between communities and wildlife.
