Resource Mobilization Officer – Wildlife SOS

Wildlife SOS was established in 1995 by a small group of individuals inspired to start a movement and make lasting change to protect and conserve India’s natural heritage, forest and wildlife wealth. Today, the organisation has evolved to actively work towards protecting Indian wildlife, conserving habitat, studying biodiversity, conducting research and creating alternative and sustainable livelihoods for erstwhile poacher communities or those communities that depend on wildlife for sustenance.

India’s wildlife is under severe threat – every animal from the majestic elephant and the tiger, to the shy sloth bear and rare pangolin have fast become “the hunted”. While time is running out for these creatures, it’s not too late to help. Wildlife SOS consistently makes a difference to give back to the planet, to give back to nature and help protect the environment and wildlife.

At Wildlife SOS, we have a comprehensive approach to saving India’s wildlife. As we continue to develop and improve our rescue and medical resources, our elephant hospital and conservation and care centres, our research and partnerships, and our talented and dedicated staff, we can take a holistic view of saving both individual animals, as well as protecting an entire species.
Our broad efforts in conservation, welfare and research have an overarching ethic and belief that true and lasting protection for wildlife can’t happen if we don’t also address the economic challenges of communities that exploit wildlife to survive.
