About Dhadgaon Wildlife Rescue Centre

Conservation through compassion, science, and community action.

Wildlife Rescue Center Dhadgaon

Serving Dhadgaon's Wildlife Since 2012

Nestled in the heart of the Satpura ranges, Dhadgaon Wildlife Rescue Centre stands as a beacon of hope for countless injured, orphaned, and displaced wild animals across Maharashtra. Our journey began with a single rescued leopard cub and a mission to create a safe haven where every creature—from the majestic Indian gaur to the tiny mongoose—receives world-class care and a second chance at life in the wild.

Our state-of-the-art facility in Dhadgaon spans over 15 acres of lush, natural terrain, designed to mimic the native habitats of the species we serve. We operate a fully equipped veterinary hospital, dedicated quarantine units, spacious rehabilitation enclosures, and soft-release zones that allow animals to gradually re-adapt to their natural instincts before returning to the forest.

Our team of wildlife veterinarians, trained rescue specialists, field biologists, and passionate volunteers works around the clock to respond to wildlife emergencies across Dhadgaon taluka and beyond. Whether it's a leopard trapped in a well, an electrocuted owl, or an orphaned deer fawn, our rapid response unit is just a phone call away — ready to intervene with compassion and expertise.

Beyond rescue and rehabilitation, we are deeply committed to addressing the root causes of human-wildlife conflict. Our community outreach programs engage local farmers, tribal communities, and school children in conservation education, sustainable coexistence practices, and wildlife corridor protection. We believe that lasting conservation is only possible when local communities become active partners in protecting their natural heritage.

Looking ahead, Dhadgaon Wildlife Rescue Centre is expanding its research capabilities, launching a dedicated wildlife forensics lab, and establishing India's first community-managed wildlife monitoring network in the Satpura region. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey — through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading awareness — because every wild life deserves a fighting chance.

Habitat Restoration
Wildlife Habitat Restoration

Dhadgaon Wildlife Rescue Centre actively restores degraded forest patches, wetlands, and grassland ecosystems across the Satpura buffer zone. We have planted over 25,000 native trees and restored 8 natural waterholes that serve as critical water sources during Maharashtra's harsh summer months.

Our habitat team works with the forest department to identify priority corridors, remove invasive species, and create wildlife-friendly buffer zones. We also install camera traps to monitor ecosystem recovery and document returning wildlife populations.

Emergency Wildlife Hotline
Emergency Wildlife Hotline

Our 24/7 wildlife emergency hotline (+91 93252 29999) connects citizens across Dhadgaon and neighboring districts with immediate expert assistance. Calls are triaged by trained wildlife responders who provide step-by-step guidance while our rescue team dispatches to the location.

The hotline has received over 4,500 calls in the past three years, helping rescue everything from injured raptors to displaced snakes. Every call is logged with geo-location data, helping us identify wildlife conflict hotspots and plan proactive interventions.

Species Conservation
Species Conservation Programs

We run dedicated conservation initiatives for the Indian leopard, sloth bear, Indian gaur, and critically endangered vulture species found in the Dhadgaon region. Our programs involve population monitoring, breeding support, and community-based protection measures.

Through radio-collaring and satellite tracking, our research team maps home ranges, identifies migration corridors, and documents human-wildlife conflict patterns. This data directly informs forest department policy and conservation planning across the Satpura landscape.

Community Education
Community Education & Outreach

Our education team visits 40+ schools and village councils across Dhadgaon taluka every year, delivering interactive sessions on wildlife conservation, snake-bite prevention, and sustainable coexistence. We have reached over 10,000 students and community members through our outreach programs.

We also train local 'Wildlife Mitra' volunteers who serve as first responders in remote villages, creating a community-based early warning and response network that significantly reduces response times for wildlife emergencies.

Anti-Poaching Patrols
Anti-Poaching & Wildlife Crime Prevention

Working closely with the Maharashtra Forest Department, our anti-poaching unit conducts regular patrols across vulnerable forest patches and water bodies in Dhadgaon taluka. We use drone surveillance, camera traps, and informant networks to detect and deter illegal hunting activities.

Our team also provides training to forest guards on wildlife crime investigation, evidence collection, and legal procedures. In the past year alone, our patrols have resulted in the seizure of 23 snares and traps, and the arrest of 7 poaching suspects.

Wildlife Release
Wildlife Release & Post-Release Monitoring

Our soft-release program ensures rehabilitated animals have the best chance of survival in the wild. We use pre-release enclosures located in suitable habitat patches where animals can acclimate to natural conditions while still receiving supplementary feeding.

Post-release monitoring using GPS collars and camera traps tracks the movements and health of released animals for up to 12 months. Since 2015, we have successfully released 180+ animals back into the wild with a remarkable 78% survival rate.

Sanctuary Management
Sanctuary & Shelter Management

For animals that cannot be released due to permanent injuries or human imprinting, we provide lifelong sanctuary care across our 15-acre facility. Our sanctuary residents include leopards, sloth bears, and various bird species that would not survive independently in the wild.

Our sanctuary management follows international welfare standards, with spacious naturalistic enclosures, species-appropriate diets, veterinary care, and behavioral enrichment programs. We also welcome volunteers and researchers to contribute to our daily care routines.
