Every Life Matters: Our Wildlife Rescue Stories – Jun 2025

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. Here's how we made a difference this month.

54 Interventions | 61 Animals Rescued & Rehabilitated
With increased rainfall and changing habitats, June posed new challenges — but also brought opportunities to build trust between people and wildlife. Read three standout rescue stories that define our work this month.

Snakes in the Storm: Community Awareness Saves Lives
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.

Banded Krait Rescues (6 Individuals)
Locations: Alipurduar & Coochbehar
Dates: 08–28 June 2025

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,” says staff on ground.

Awareness works. Compassion saves. Each rescue is a testament to the growing harmony between communities and wildlife.

A Storm Survivor: The Chestnut-tailed Starling Chick
During a thunderstorm in Falakata, a young Chestnut-tailed Starling chick fell from its nest. Weak, dehydrated, and alone, it had little chance of survival on its own.

Rescue Date: 06 June 2025
 Rehabilitation Duration: 21 Days
Care Provided: Hydration therapy, hand-feeding formula, gradual dietary transition
Released: 27 June 2025, back into nature

“We nurtured the chick like one of our own. Watching it fly free was the greatest reward,” shared Rahul Saha, World animal Protection.
From vulnerability to vitality — this story reflects our commitment to give every creature a second chance at life.

Your support. Our work. And the deep compassion shared by local communities.

Every time a resident makes the right call instead of reacting in fear...
