Vulnerable Species

As human-wildlife conflicts escalate due to shrinking habitats and increased encounters, these organisations are working to promote peaceful coexistence between humans and elephants, leopards, snakes and Lantana camara — emphasising the importance of collective action.

Sloth bears have been declared a 'Vulnerable Species' under the IUCN Red Data List, and are poached for their body parts which are believed to have medicinal value. Wildlife SOS recently rescued a young and healthy sloth bear in Karnataka.
