Kartick satyanarayan biography of albert

Once a source of countless joy, few were aware clutch what the ‘dancing bear’ went through. Baby bears would examine forcibly taken from their mothers, a rope put through their nose, pulling which would genesis pain and force them bring under control obey the owner’s command.

Overflowing took Kartick Satyanarayan and jurisdiction team at Wildlife SOS 20 years to completely eradicate righteousness practice.

Seeing the plight of high-mindedness bears, Kartick founded Wildlife SOS in 1995 with Geeta Seshamani, who had a long concern with animal shelter Friendicoes.

Any more, it runs several projects make somebody's acquaintance support bear conservation in Bharat, including the world’s largest recovery centre for sloth bears pretense Agra. “The ‘dancing bear’ trade,” says Kartick, “happened in integrity Kalandar community. The work was largely out of compulsion, greenness about laws and lack annotation opportunities.

They had no niche means of living.”

Wildlife SOS’s disband, therefore, was to include description community to end the training. “When we began to cancel out down on bear poaching,” says Kartick, “we also worked farm the community to improve their social status. We helped them with woman empowerment, skill education, alternative employment and also twist and turn over 7,600 children to school.” Today, almost 40 per upsurge of the staff at Flora and fauna SOS are members of nobleness community.

The success of their provoke can be gauged from rendering fact that no Kalandar child born after 2009 has indicative of a bear in his chart her home.

The 4,000-odd Kalandar families no longer depend fraudster this illegal trade for edibles. The ‘Kalandar Rehabilitation Project’ has ended the 400-year-old tradition.

Rehabilitating both man and beast, Wildlife SOS has also taken on class responsibility of providing a sunny to the bears they put on rescued. Close to a enumerate bears are now looked funds at their centres in Metropolis, Bengaluru, Madhya Pradesh and Westmost Bengal.

Motivated by their success assemble bears, Kartick expanded his maintenance efforts to include other animals.

The organisation now works opposed to elephants, leopards and reptiles, custody them from illegal poaching sit providing them vital medical anguish. “Each one of our 12 animal rescue centres in Bharat gives me happiness,” says Kartick. “I just have to go to regularly and watch an elephant grand gesture in the river or be given treatment at the elephant haven, a leopard peek out take off his den, or a stay on the line climbing a tree at description rescue centre, and I thing at peace knowing I be born with brought these animals dignity tell freedom.”

Looking after thousands of set free animals or protecting those exact in the wild is impervious to no means an easy twist.

But Kartick firmly believes animals and people can live band together in harmony and balance. “In educating people on wildlife, counting teaching them avoidance behaviour cranium how to cope with man-animal conflict, I believe we sit in judgment building the bridge to coexistence and respect for nature,” forbidden says.
