Reaching animals trapped in difficult places
RESQ’s rescue work includes animals stranded in trees, wells, confined spaces, underground areas and water. Climbers, veterinarians and experienced rescuers bring different skills to these operations. For wildlife incidents, the team works with the Maharashtra Forest Department and, when needed, police, fire services and local communities to coordinate a response suited to the animal and setting.
Rehabilitation follows an individual plan in Pune
At the Wildlife Transit Treatment Centre near Pune, each arrival receives an examination and a rehabilitation plan based on species and condition. The team records milestones, timelines and care goals in an online system monitored by forest officials. Treatment can include surgery and postoperative care, followed by rehabilitation that aims to restore natural behaviour and prepare suitable animals for release.
Coexistence can prevent an emergency rescue
RESQ also tracks wildlife and works with communities when animals enter human-dominated places. Its Sahjeevan, or COEXIST, sessions use audiovisual material followed by discussion, allowing people to ask about local animals and practical concerns. The content is adapted to the audience and setting, including rural communities, schools and workplaces near wildlife habitats.
AWARE INDIA brings animal topics into school learning
The AWARE INDIA curriculum is designed for grades 1 to 12, with six core modules across the academic year. Activities and games use animal-related situations to explore coexistence and responsibility. Schools, after-school programmes and youth groups can enquire about sessions through the outreach team, making education a structured part of RESQ’s work rather than an occasional shelter visit.
Abandoned domestic animals have a different care route
RESQ also treats abandoned domestic animals, including large animals that can no longer work or provide milk. Care depends on available resources and admission space. After recovery in Pune, large animals may receive supported lifetime sanctuary care with partner organisations near Talegaon. The official contact information distinguishes these services from wildlife work and explains the current helpline scope. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
