WILDLIFE SOS

THIS ORGANIZATION IS AMAZING IN THEIR CARE & DEDICATION! 

BELOW ARE JUST 2 OF THEIR RESCUES!

Can you believe this little elephant survived?

We almost lost hope for little Bani ❤️ Today is Giving Tuesday, and we’re sharing stories of recovery YOU made possible, like helping a wild baby elephant named Bani. A generous supporter has pledged a $10,000 match for Giving Tuesday. Your donation will be DOUBLED! Bani was not even a year old when she was hit by a speeding train and gravely injured. Panicked and traumatized, Bani’s herd left her in a muddy field near the train tracks, expecting her to die. When our expert veterinarians arrived, they didn’t have much hope for the frightened baby. Bani was paralysed and unable to move, with possible fractures to her back, pelvis and legs. We didn’t know if she would survive the long ride to the hospital, but the little elephant was determined to live. She’s a fighter, and our team began to have whispers of optimism as our expert vets saw slow but steady improvement. YES! I WANT TO HELP ELEPHANTS! It has been almost a year since Bani was injured, and revolutionary care has helped the little elephant stand … and even WALK. She’s getting a little stronger each day, and will have a full life surrounded by a new herd at Wildlife SOS. For Giving Tuesday, we are raising money to heal the wounds for the many elephants that come into our care. This is a very involved and expensive process, requiring daily cleaning, laser treatments, proper diet/nutrition, exercise and reducing their stress.

Elephant Manu IS HOME! 

After decades of suffering and neglect, Manu has finally reached a place where he can breathe freely and heal – our Elephant Hospital Campus, a place where he will know only kindness and care, not cruelty. The trauma of his past will always linger, but with every day of love and healing, we hope to make it a distant memory. Welcome home, Manu! The best news of all? He’s with us for good! GIVE TO ELEPHANT CARE Manu has a long, costly recovery and medical treatment ahead. Will you please consider becoming a monthly donor to Wildlife SOS? Thank you to everyone who has given generously and rallied to support Manu! If you are able to make a donation or to become a monthly supporter, we will be forever grateful. 🙏🏽

Manu Update - WE'VE GOT HIM!

Great news! Manu is aboard the elephant ambulance, en route to the Elephant Hospital in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. As Manu is in pain with fragile legs, our team had to be extremely cautious while loading him onto the ambulance. He was quite wary of the process and had to be gently coaxed with the help of plenty of treats like sugarcanes, cucumbers and bananas. Our caregiver also stayed by his side through the whole process, murmuring words of encouragement to him. The duration of the drive will depend on Manu's temperament and medical condition during the journey. We will send another email when he arrives, but if you would like more frequent updates, please visit our Facebook and Instagram. The Wildlife SOS Elephant Ambulance is carefully driving Manu to the Elephant Hospital. Chase vehicles are in tow. The team can interact with Manu in the back, and see how he’s doing. They’ll stop for rests as needed.

MANU UPDATE - The elephant ambulance has arrived

	Manu Update - Since we first used a crane to help Manu stand, he has remained on his feet without once lying down to rest. Despite his exhaustion, Manu is hesitant to lie down, fearing he may not be able to get up again. He is severely fatigued and in pain from his injured and infected feet. To make him comfortable, we created huge mud beds with hay for him to lean against. This takes full weight off his feet, but also eases his fear of laying all the way down. This evening, we were finally able to encourage him to lay on the mud bed, but he remained visibly uncomfortable. Given his current condition, we don’t want Manu to endure the stress of the journey to the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital. Therefore, we have decided to let him rest for tonight and delay the travel until he regains some strength. We hope to travel this Friday or Saturday. Our team is closely monitoring his condition and providing nourishment, medication, pain management, fluid therapy, and laser therapy to aid his recovery.

	A Wildlife SOS caregiver comforts Manu and gives him sweet sugarcane to munch on as he slowly regains his strength. Thank you to everyone who has given generously and rallied to support Manu! If you are able to make a donation to support this costly operation to save his life, we will be forever grateful. 🙏🏽

Wildlife SOS alert: Elephant emergency!

We received an urgent distress call about a 58-year-old elephant who had collapsed, his frail body giving in after years of hardship. For over 36 agonising hours, he lay helpless unable to stand, his exhausted body developing painful bed sores. Without delay, our team raced 700 km across the country to provide the ailing elephant with urgent medical care, knowing that without urgent intervention, he might not survive. Our veterinarians are working relentlessly to ease his pain and provide him with the necessary energy to stand again. GIVE TO SAVE ELEPHANTS Dr. Rahul shows Manu kindness with sweet fruits to win his trust. We don’t know how long it’s been since he was allowed to rest. His work never stops – with partial vision left in one eye, elderly, severely malnourished and suffering from injuries, yet the bull was forced to keep going. We are calling him Manu, and he urgently needs your help. Manu needs urgent medical care. We hope to get him up, transported in the ambulance so we can treat him at our Elephant Hospital. Will you help save Manu’s life and get him the critical care he needs?
