The WTI Family wishes you a very Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for having been a part of this amazing project and helping it achieve all that it has. Today, as this project is being retired, I would like to tell you that the calves you have cared for so much have grown up and ‘flown the nest’. They are now in Manas National Park and are taking care of themselves in the wild. Reports from the field indicate that they are doing very well indeed and all of us are looking forward to seeing them live a long and peaceful life.
It is your generosity that has given these orphaned calves a new lease of life and I do so want other animals in India to feel the same warmth. I would like to tell you about two projects on GlobalGiving that urgently requires your kind of support.
Save Birds from Kite-String injuries (https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/save-birds-from-kite-string-injuries/)
Support Mobile Ambulance Service for Wild Animals (https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/support-mobile-ambulance-service-for-wildlife/)
Of these, the first project is the more urgent of the two as we are looking at the upcoming festival of Makar Sankranti on the 14th of January (just a few days from now) when kite flying festivals are going to be organized in many cities of India. The glass coated thread (manjha) used by kite-flying enthusiasts can cause grievious injury to birds and WTI is working to discourage its use. We would be so very grateful for support that will help us increase our reach to protect as many birds as we can.
Please do support these projects and help us make it a Happy New Year – for both animals and humans.
Warm regards,
Leena,
Wildlife Trust of India
