Large parts of Kaziranga National Park in India's northeastern Assam state—a World Heritage Site and biodiversity hotspot—have been devastated by the annual monsoon rains. Sadly, the floods have already claimed the lives of more than 58 people and 200 animals including 10 rhinos. Many animals are displaced and injured and need urgent help.
The IFAW-WTI Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) has admitted more than 36 animals impacted by the floods over the past few days. The team expects more casualties as the heavy rains continue to wreak havoc across the region.
CWRC is the ONLY facility in India to specialise in rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing orphaned or injured wild animals. The centre has handled close to 4500 animal cases, with nearly 60 per cent released back to the wild since it launched in 2022. Can you help with a lifesaving gift today?
