Rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife and helping people coexist with it in shared landscapes.
About RESQ CT
RESQ Charitable Trust is an Indian wildlife organisation that rescues, treats and rehabilitates animals in distress and helps people and wildlife share increasingly crowded landscapes safely.
As habitats shrink and human and wild spaces overlap, more animals are injured, orphaned, displaced or caught in conflict, and communities often lack the knowledge to coexist safely. That mix endangers wildlife and people alike and can drive the spread of disease. RESQ works at exactly this intersection, holding to the principle that every individual animal matters.
Founded in 2007 and based in Pune, the Trust runs a team of more than 85 people across several connected areas: wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, community education and outreach, a OneHealth programme tackling zoonotic disease and population management, and animal welfare work in communities.
Its response combines emergency action with prevention. Round-the-clock rescue helplines operate across multiple regions to reach injured, sick, orphaned and trafficked animals, while school programmes and awareness campaigns help reduce conflict at source. The Trust also acts as an early-detection centre for infectious disease, working with government agencies, researchers and corporate supporters. Since 2007 it has helped thousands of animals across more than 230 species.
This work protects biodiversity while making communities safer and healthier, two outcomes that go hand in hand. Support keeps the helplines running, the rehabilitation going and the education reaching the people whose choices shape whether wildlife survives.
