About This Cause
Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) is a non-profit organization, committed to urgent action that works towards the protection of India's wildlife. Its mission is to conserve nature, especially endangered species and threatened habitats, in partnership with communities and governments. WTI was formed in November 1998, in response to the rapidly deteriorating condition of the country's wildlife, with only three staff members. It has since developed into a premier national wildlife organization with a core team of over a hundred experts including scientists, field biologists, conservation managers, veterinarians, lawyers, finance, business management and communication specialists, who operate diverse conservation projects in 22 of the 28 Indian states. Our approach to wildlife conservation thus involves Science, Sociology, Land Securement, Education, Enforcement, Policy Advocacy and Outreach, with projects incorporating some or all of these elements brought together for a holistic approach to resolve complex conservation issues. The principal concerns of WTI include crisis management and provision of quick, efficient aid to individuals, species or habitats that require it the most. In the longer term it hopes to achieve, through proactive reforms, an atmosphere conducive to conserving India's wildlife and its habitat. Addressing conservation issues by combining a field-centric approach with hard-headed business management techniques and strategic partnerships, WTI today is acknowledged as one of the best action-oriented wildlife non-profit organizations in the country. A registered charity in India (under Section 12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961), WTI is mandated by its Board of Trustees to ensure that 85% of all specified donor monies go to the field.
