Dear Patron,
Hope you have been keeping well.
With this email, we are sharing with you the updates for our project titled “Help rescue wild animals and birds in India”. Thank you so much for believing in our work and also for your generous donation to the project.
Today’s updates are from Plachery, in Kerala. The Plachery Forest Department staff approached WTI for equipment support during the monsoon season as there was a sudden increase in wildlife displacement cases in the region. The Forest Department faced a shortage of equipment and field gear necessary to conduct the rescue operations. Through a Rapid Action Project, we provided the Forest Department with a trapping cage, a large rope, a net for lifting animals trapped in wells, 3 catchpoles, 3 snake rescue kits, 3 flashlights, 5 headlamps, 5 pairs of safety shoes, raincoats, veterinary medicines as well as food supplements for the rescued animals. The equipment and tools were basically provided for responding to rescue calls of smaller mammals and reptiles.
With this support the Plachery Forest Department staff were equipped to conduct successful rescues of the wildlife in and around the region including - common palm civets, pythons, jungle cat kittens, wild boar, brahmani kite, golden jackal, trinket snake, cobra, common macaque and black crowned night heron.
A timely intervention in this case resulted in saving the lives of so many wild animals. All this was made possible because of your support, for which we are very grateful. We will soon get back to you with similar updates.
Till then, stay safe and healthy.
Warm regards,
Team WTI
