Wildlife SOS

Wildlife SOS is one of the largest wildlife organisations in South Asia. It was founded in 1995 by Kartick Satyanarayan and Geeta Seshamani, with the goal of protecting India’s wildlife heritage, conserving habitats, and raising awareness about human-wildlife coexistence.

Flaming Koala is a proud friend and supporter of Wildlife SOS. We have adopted an orphaned baby Elephant Bani in their care, and our monthly contributions will help pay for the food, and medical care of our elephant friend.
