Make It a Merry Christmas for Bengaluru’s Wildlife

Support PfA Wildlife Rescue & Conservation Centre This Festive Season

The lights are up, the chill is in the air, and Bengaluru is getting ready to celebrate the most magical time of the year. As we exchange gifts, decorate trees, and gather with loved ones, it’s also the perfect moment to extend the spirit of giving to those who cannot ask for help themselves — our city’s wildlife.

At PfA Wildlife Rescue & Conservation Centre Bengaluru, thousands of animals pass through our care every year — from injured birds and electrocuted monkeys to dehydrated reptiles, orphaned mammals, and victims of road accidents. Our wildlife hospital operates 24/7, providing specialised medical care, rehabilitation, and safe release back into the wild.

This Christmas, you can make a real difference.



Why Wildlife Needs a Christmas Miracle Too

Unlike pets or livestock, wild animals have no one looking out for them when they fall sick or get injured. Urbanisation, habitat loss, pollution, and road traffic leave many animals vulnerable — especially during winter.

Your support helps provide:

  • Emergency rescues for injured wildlife across Bengaluru

  • Medical treatment using specialised supplies

  • Daily care such as feeding, cleaning, and rehabilitation

Christmas is a time of compassion. And even a small contribution can become a lifesaving gift.


Our Amazon Wishlist — A Simple Way to Support

We’ve put together an Amazon Wishlist filled with essential items our wildlife hospital needs daily — from medical supplies and rehabilitation materials to cleaning essentials and feeding tools.

When you purchase an item from the wishlist:

  • It is delivered directly to our wildlife hospital

  • You know exactly how your donation is used

  • Your gift becomes a tangible part of an animal’s recovery

Every item, no matter how small, has a purpose — a syringe that helps medicate an injured kite, a feeding bowl for a rescued squirrel, or a heating pad that keeps a critically ill animal alive through the night.

This season, your shopping cart can save lives.

How You Can Make It a Merry Christmas for Wildlife

Here are simple ways to be part of our Christmas campaign:

1. Purchase from our Amazon Wishlist

Pick one or more items and send it directly to PfA. It takes just a few clicks but leaves a big impact.

2. Spread the word

Share our wishlist with friends, family, colleagues, and groups on social media. The more people know, the more animals we can help.

3. Encourage children to participate

Christmas is the perfect time to teach young ones about kindness to animals. Let them choose a gift for wildlife!


4. Support a rescue

If you see an animal in distress, call our helpline. Sometimes the best gift is a timely rescue.

A Christmas Filled With Hope

At PfA, every rescued creature has a story — of survival, of resilience, and often, of a second chance made possible by people like you.

This Christmas, let’s fill our wildlife hospital with warmth, generosity, and hope.
 Let’s make it a Merry Christmas for Bengaluru’s wildlife — because every life deserves compassion.

Smuggling the Stars: Illegal Trade of the Indian Star Tortoise

-
Image
On May 1, PfA Wildlife Rescue & Conservation Centre faced the grim reality of illegal wildlife trade yet again. We responded to a call from a bus conductor and rescued 218 Indian Star tortoises, which were all tightly packed into three small bags. They were all juveniles, ranging between just a week old to 4 to 5 years old. Unfortunately, one of them had already succumbed to the horrendous conditions in which these tortoises were being transported.   The demand for the Indian Star Tortoise in the exotic pet market is fueled largely, but not entirely by the superstitions that surround the animal. Some believe that the star tortoise can fix the “Vaastu” of a house or simply bring good luck to the house it’s kept in. Others, allured by the beautiful patterns of the shell,  simply want to keep them as pets.  You might be wondering “But why shouldn’t they be kept as pets?”. Other than the fact that it’s illegal, there are various reasons why keeping them as pets is harmful...

Bengaluru, known as the "Garden City" of India, is not only famed for its green spaces but also for its thriving urban wetlands. These water bodies, though surrounded by a growing metropolis, provide a haven for an extraordinary variety of birds—both resident and migratory. In recent years, the wetlands of Bengaluru have become important hotspots for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike, showcasing the city's rich biodiversity. The Importance of Bengaluru's Wetlands for Birds Wetlands play a crucial role in sustaining a variety of bird species by offering food, shelter, and breeding grounds. Bengaluru, despite its rapid urbanization, still has several lakes and marshes that act as key habitats for waterfowl, waders, and even raptors. These wetlands serve as both stopovers for migratory species and year-round habitats for local birds. Key Wetland Areas in Bengaluru Some of the most prominent wetland areas in Bengaluru include: Puttenahalli Lake : A lesser-known bi...

Slithering Saviors: The Snakes of Bangalore and Why We Need Them

-

  When we think of Bangalore’s wildlife, snakes may not be the first creatures that come to mind—but perhaps they should be. Often misunderstood and unfairly feared, these remarkable reptiles are not just surviving in our ever-expanding city—they're thriving, and in doing so, they quietly uphold the ecological balance of our urban environment. Meet Bangalore’s Snakes The city is home to a surprising variety of snake species, both venomous and non-venomous. Some of the most commonly encountered include: Spectacled Cobra ( Naja naja ) – A venomous but typically shy snake, often misinterpreted as aggressive when it is merely trying to flee. Indian Rat Snake ( Ptyas mucosa ) – Non-venomous and lightning-fast, it’s frequently mistaken for a cobra due to its size and coloring. Common Krait ( Bungarus caeruleus ) – A nocturnal, highly venomous species with a potent neurotoxin, rarely seen during the day. Russell’s Viper ( Daboia russelii ) – One of the most dangerous snakes in India, ofte...
