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”!
Livelihoods for Conservation
300 million around India’s forests, relying on these fragile natural ecosystems for sustenance in the form of firewood, cattle grazing, bushmeat, the wildlife trade, agriculture, and non-timber forest produce. We at Think Wildlife Foundation have partnered with various NGOs to help provide these communities with alternative, more sustainable livelihoods (learn more here). You can support these initiatives by buying merchandise made from these communities. 90% of the revenue generated through our sales is returned to the respective communities.
