About us

Our Objectives

The work is organised around a few clear aims — each one grounded in what happens in the field.

Rescue and rehabilitation

Snakes in kitchens, injured birds, monitor lizards in drains. Volunteers respond across Nalanda and hand animals to the forest department for release.

  • Round-the-clock rescue calls
  • Safe handling and release
  • Snakebite first-response advice

Education and eco clubs

School eco clubs, nature stalls and outdoor sessions that put students in front of the species living around their own villages.

  • School and college outreach
  • Nature education stalls
  • Monthly nature walks

Species monitoring

Heronry counts, nest monitoring and bird documentation across Nalanda, recorded by volunteers and shared with researchers.

  • Asian openbill nest monitoring
  • Birdlife of Nalanda checklist
  • Herpetofauna records

Habitat protection

Forest fire prevention around Rajgir Wildlife Sanctuary, wetland cleanups and training for forest department frontline staff.

  • Fire-line awareness drives
  • Pond and sarovar cleanups
  • Frontline staff workshops
