Serving wildlife and communities across Katihar, Bihar since 2008
Katihar Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation Center is a dedicated non-profit organization located in the heart of Katihar, Bihar, committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of injured, orphaned, and displaced wild animals. Our mission is to protect India's rich biodiversity by providing professional veterinary care, habitat restoration, and public education programs that foster coexistence between humans and wildlife.
Since our establishment in 2008, we have successfully rescued and rehabilitated over 4,500 wild animals including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Our team of experienced veterinarians, wildlife biologists, and trained volunteers works tirelessly around the clock to respond to wildlife emergencies across the Katihar district and surrounding regions.
We operate a state-of-the-art veterinary facility equipped with modern surgical units, intensive care wards, and spacious recovery enclosures designed to mimic natural habitats. Our rehabilitation protocols focus on minimizing human contact to ensure that released animals retain their wild instincts and can survive independently in their natural environments.
Beyond rescue operations, we are deeply committed to community education and awareness programs. We regularly conduct workshops in schools, villages, and urban neighborhoods across Katihar to teach residents about wildlife safety, human-wildlife conflict resolution, and the importance of conservation. Our goal is to build a community that values and protects its natural heritage for generations to come.
Located at the confluence of the Ganges and Koshi river systems, the Katihar region is home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Our center plays a vital role in protecting this biodiversity by working closely with forest department officials, local government bodies, and international conservation organizations. Together, we are building a safer future for wildlife in Bihar.
