Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre - WRRC

Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre - WRRC 25 Year old NGO working towards conservation of urban wildlife & welfare of captive elephants through rescue, rehabilitation & advocacy

The Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre (WRRC) registered in July 1999 is a registered public charitable Trust for the conservation and welfare of wildlife rescued from urban and rural areas around Bangalore, India. WRRC was set up by the trustees of Compassion Unlimited Plus Action (CUPA) in response to keenly felt need to provide relief to wild animals, birds and reptiles including medical facilities, housing and handling cases of cruelties inflicted on them. These animals are often injured, abused or are confiscated from illegal trade. Concerned members of the public have very few options for housing or treatment of such species. Expertise for their management and rehabilitation is also lacking.

A live wire nearly took this juvenile bonnet macaque’s life. But he’s still here, and he’s still fighting.

This little one’s recovery hasn’t been easy, but every day he eats and stays alert is a win. Burns like his run deep, deeper than what you can see, which is why healing takes time and patience over quick fixes.

Wishing him strength for the road ahead.
Follow along as he heals. 🐒💛

A significant hearing in WRRC’s ongoing Supreme Court PIL, filed in 2014.

On 18 August 2026, the Supreme Court directed the establishment of elephant clinics nationwide, mandatory health check-ups for every captive elephant owner, and individual medical records for each elephant, alongside DNA profiling and new housing standards to come.

This case has been with us since 2014. Today’s hearing is one more step in that fight, not the end of it.

Kavitha did what most of us would do. She saw a lone chick, no parent around, and picked it up to keep it safe.

But one phone call to WRRC made all the difference. Our rescuer suspected there was more going on, found a second chick nearby, and waited quietly. Within 15-20 minutes, both parent Waterhens returned.

Empathy started this story. Expertise is what gave it a happy ending.

Found a baby animal alone? Don’t guess, call us: +91 8884023100

Thank you, Kavitha 🐣

This Independence Day, our freedom shouldn’t be the only one worth celebrating. Every wild animal in this country deserves that same right. To live free, exactly as it was meant to.

So let’s take a pledge as citizens: to end illegal captivity, to fight wildlife trade, to say no to cruelty dressed up as tourism, and to speak up when we see it. Let’s commit to protecting every species, so they can flourish in this incredible land we call home.

Happy Independence Day, to every citizen, and every creature that calls this land home too 🇮🇳

WRRC recently welcomed students of Nazareth School, Chandapura, for a visit organised by EMPRI.

The students walked through the campus, learned about the different animals WRRC rescues and cares for, and sat through a session on the basics of conservation, why habitats matter and what to do if you find an injured animal.

Small moments like these add up. A classroom full of kids who now know a little more about the wildlife around them.

Thank you to EMPRI for organising the visit.

This month, we celebrated more homecomings than we could ever fit into one reel. 🐾💚

Every release you see here started as a rescue call, followed by weeks, sometimes months of care and a team that never gave up. For every story captured on camera, there are many more that happened off-frame, just as joyfully.

Rehabilitation takes patience and heart, day after day, until the moment it’s all been for: watching them go home.

If today’s post moved you, consider supporting the work that makes these homecomings possible. Please scan the QR code in the video or visit our website linked in our bio for more info.

Finding an injured bird can be distressing, and our instinct is often to offer food or water. But giving water to a weak or injured bird can do more harm than good.

Birds can easily aspirate water into their airway (glottis), leading to choking or serious complications. What may seem like help can seriously worsen their condition.

The best thing you can do is keep the bird safe, minimize handling, and contact a wildlife rescue or rehabilitation centre for help!
Contact team WRRC at +91 8884023100 for assistance.

Every stripe tells a story. No two tigers wear the same pattern, and no two conservation efforts look the same either, from anti-poaching patrols to community outreach in villages living alongside these cats.

India carries the weight of protecting most of the world’s wild tigers. That’s not a statistic, it’s daily work by the people sharing this land with them.

Happy International Tiger Day, from WRRC. 🐅

Meet the peafowl who couldn’t stand on her own, and the makeshift solution our team put together to change that.

No fancy equipment. Just handwoven mats, a cloth sling, and a lot of patience.

Recovery sometimes just means using whatever you’ve got and figuring it out as you go.

We’ve been seeing a lot more birds come in like this lately. Our cities keep pushing further into their space, glass buildings, shrinking green cover, and ultimately less room for them to exist safely around us.

If you spot an injured peafowl, reach out to us at +91 +91 88840 23100.

One call can be the start of a recovery like hers.

Recently we welcomed 12 veterinary students from Bangalore Veterinary College to WRRC for a day of hands-on learning, where they observed real wildlife cases, assisted our veterinary team, and gained practical experience of our work.

Thank you, Bannerghatta Biological Park, for helping inspire the next generation of wildlife veterinarians 💚
