Assam’s Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC), India’s first dedicated facility to hand-raise, treat and release orphaned and injured animals back into the wild, has stepped into its 25th year.
The Assam Forest Department and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) jointly run the CWRC in partnership with the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Located at Panbari near Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, the CWRC was established on August 28, 2002, for science-based wildlife conservation. Over the years, the centre and its allied mobile veterinary service units have treated and released about 68% of more than 10,000 rescued animals back into the wild.
C. Ramesh, Kaziranga’s Field Director, said the CWRC’s contribution to the rescue, rehabilitation and conservation of Assam’s wildlife, especially animals in distress, has been invaluable.
