Dear donor,
Hope you have been keeping well.
With this email, we are sharing with you the updates for our project titled “Help Rescue Wild Animals and Birds in India”. Thank you so much for your generous donation to the project.
Kashmir valley is one of the only promising breeding ground for the Common Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). The wetlands in the region support not just the Mallards, but several other migratory species that visit the area. Back in 2011, following months of lobbying efforts, WTI along with the Wildlife Conservation Fund managed to take over approximately 175 hectares of wetlands in Pampore region from the Revenue Department and handed over to the Wildlife Department, to ensure proper monitoring and protection of these critical wetlands. During one of our recent field visits, we came across an enthusiastic forest guard and a watcher, who have been monitoring these wetlands for any illegal activities as well as ensuring rescue and treatment of any injured migratory birds. We provided them with binoculars to help continue their monitoring efforts.
That’s all for the update under the project. We’ll get back to you with more updates soon. Till then, take care.
With regards,
Team WTI
