: Snakebite is more than a medical emergency. It’s a challenge that affects people, livelihoods and wildlife alike. That’s why our work goes far beyond hospitals. 
 
As one of the few organizations tackling snakebite through a holistic approach - from research and stronger systems to community education and data - we’re working to prevent snakebites before they happen, creating safer futures for both people and snakes.

: This one-month-old calf today lost her life to hunger after braving and surviving the floods. This is one of the many images our team witnesses in several flood-hit villages in Maharashtra.

This is the hidden crisis unfolding long after the floodwaters have receded.

Delayed rains had already exhausted the fodder farmers had carefully stored for their animals. Then the flash floods swept away what little remained - leaving thousands of animals with almost nothing to eat. Not even grass, all having washedaway in the floods

As we moved from village to village, we met farmers desperately trying to keep their animals alive.

Thats why we are on the ground - delivering emergency cattle feed, providing veterinary care, and standing alongside farming communities until their animals can safely graze again.

Because for many animals, surviving the flood is only the beginning.

: Water may have receded, but the struggle for many families is only beginning.

Our disaster response team is in Maharashtra’s flood-hit Raigad district, where we are providing emergency cattle feed and food for companion animals, with relief expected to support 5,000+ animals across some of the worst-affected communities, including Birwadi, Dasgaon, Barasgaon, Kemburli, Warandh, Mahad, Gondale, Nate and Sav.

In the first two villages we visited, families told us they had lost all the dry fodder they had carefully stored for the monsoon. With their feed washed away, many have no option but to send their cattle into the hills to graze on newly emerging grass in areas still recovering from the floods.

Over the coming days, we aim to distribute mergency cattle feed and medicines to help animals stay healthy and give families the support they need to begin rebuilding their lives. Field assessments and village visits are ongoing.

Dogs trapped in the dog meat trade endure unimaginable physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. Many are forced to watch other dogs being brutally slaughtered before it’s their turn. They witness horrors that no living being should ever have to see.

Over the past two days, we’ve met dogs carrying the weight of that trauma. And yet, despite everything they’ve been through, they’re still choosing to trust humans. A gentle touch, a kind voice and a warm meal - they’re slowly allowing themselves to believe they’re finally safe.

Their resilience is extraordinary. Now, they finally have the chance to heal, to recover and to experience the love and compassion they were always meant to know.

Our fight to end the dog meat trade is heartbreak and exhausting but, days and milestones like today’s help put it back together.

Over the past two days, we’ve rescued 18 dogs and worked alongside former dog meat traders, our volunteers, local communities and partner organizations to prove that change is possible.
 
There are still so many dogs to save and rescue before we end the trade - but every rescue, every life saved and every person who chooses compassion gives us the motivation to continue to persevere and reminds us why we never give up.

: A new report by Humane World for Animals India, in collaboration with wildlife trade researcher Kritika Balaji, examines the gaps in India’s legal and regulatory framework governing the exotic pet trade. Titled “Safeguarding Biodiversity and Public Health: A Policy Analysis of Exotic Pet Trade in India,” the report highlights how the unchecked trade poses serious risks to public health, native biodiversity, and animal welfare.
 
Without urgent action, India risks becoming not only a destination for exotic wildlife, but also a hotspot for the public health, environmental and animal welfare challenges that come with this trade.

For the last few days, we stepped away from the field, from our laptops and our cabins.
 
Not because the work stopped. But because the work ahead deserves our very best. Across India, our teams work in different landscapes, with different challenges, for one shared purpose: creating a better world for animals.
 
This all-staff meet was our chance to come together. To reflect on what we’ve achieved. To question what we can do better. To challenge ideas, shape new strategies and strengthen the relationships that make this work possible.
 
Because meaningful change isn’t built by individuals. It’s built by people who trust each other, learn together and move forward with a shared vision.
 
We return with clearer minds, stronger bonds and renewed determination.
 
For the animals. Always.

Strong animal welfare doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when systems work.

Over the past few years, we’ve partnered with government departments across West Bengal to strengthen animal welfare systems at the district level, improving coordination, building capacity, and supporting more effective responses for animals in need.

While much of this work happens behind the scenes, its impact is felt every day. Stronger institutions, clearer processes, and greater accountability help ensure that animal welfare is not dependent on individual action alone, but embedded within the system.

That’s the power of advocacy: building systems that continue to protect animals long into the future.
