Assam’s CWRC marks 25 years of wildlife conservation
Assam’s Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation, near Kaziranga, has treated more than 10,000 rescued animals, with nearly 68% successfully returned to the wild
The Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC) in Assam is celebrating its 25th year of wildlife conservation. Located near Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, the CWRC, run jointly by the Assam Forest Department and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), has treated and released about 68% of more than 10,000 rescued animals back into the wild.
This includes efforts to rescue and rehabilitate animals like one-horned rhinos, Asiatic black bear cubs, wild buffaloes, and hoolock gibbons. The centre's success is attributed to its collaboration with local communities, governments, and various conservation organisations.
