Our Story
TWF was established in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 by university students to support the rehabilitation of a rescued captive elephant through our “Caring for Pari Campaign”. In January 2023, we launched the Think Wildlife Podcast, hosted by our Managing Director, Anish Banerjee! We are soon launching our “Livelihood for Conservation Initiative” and “AI for Conservation Project”!
