Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre

Established in 1999, WRRC was founded with the mission to provide rescue, medical treatment, and rehabilitation for urban wildlife and captive elephants. Additionally, it advocates against the confinement and exploitation of wild animals for entertainment or commercial purposes. WRRC manages two facilities: the Bannerghatta Rehabilitation Centre (BRC) and the Elephant Care Facility (ECF) located in Lakshmisagara, Karnataka. To date, WRRC has provided care to over 10,000 wild animals, while the Elephant Care Facility currently provides lifetime care to six elephants under its guardianship. The organization also conducts outreach initiatives in schools and communities surrounding Bannerugatta National Park, with the aim of raising awareness on issues such as illegal pet trading, the exploitation of animals for black magic, and the significance of wildlife conservation.
