Animal Protection

A lost leopard cub was rescued in Himachal Pradesh when a resident found it trembling and made sure it received protection from forest officials.

Not long ago, these 'freagles' were terrified creatures living in solitary cages in labs, with little company or stimuli — even sunlight was alien to them. #HeroesOfHumanity

The snake is a powerful symbol in Indian mythology and Hinduism. But due to various beliefs and myths surrounding snakes, every year, thousands of them are poached from the forests for snake charming. Rise in awareness, conservation efforts, and stringent law enforcement have led to a gradual decline of this practice in big urban cities.

In recent years, rapid infringement of human settlements and expansion of agriculturally-used land has forced Maharashtra’s leopards to adapt to the changing landscape. Wildlife SOS recently rescued a pair of three-week-old leopard cubs who were happily reunited with their mother near Pune.
