Announcements
At Towards Equal Foundation (TEF), we stand firm in our commitment to wildlife conservation and rehabilitation. Today, we are thrilled to share an exciting development in our longstanding collaboration with PfA Wildlife Rescue & Conservation Centre. For over six years, we have worked hand in hand with PfA, witnessing their unwavering dedication to rescuing and rehabilitating urban wild animals in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
It is with great pleasure that we announce our support for PfA’s proposal for a “Nocturnal Wildlife Rehabilitation Enclosure.” This initiative marks a significant step forward in our collective efforts to provide optimal care for nocturnal wildlife species in need.
The Proposal in Detail
The proposed enclosure aims to address the specific needs of nocturnal animals, providing a safe haven for their rehabilitation and eventual release back into their natural habitats. From slender lorises to barn owls, scops owls to Indian flying foxes, the enclosure will cater to a diverse array of nocturnal species, ensuring they receive the specialized care they require.
Key Features of the Enclosure
The enclosure will boast carefully designed features tailored to the needs of its inhabitants. Ample space for flight, climbing structures, appropriate substrate, and controlled lighting and temperature settings will create a conducive environment for rehabilitation. Additionally, enrichment activities will be incorporated to stimulate the animals both mentally and physically, aiding in their recovery process.
The Importance of Nocturnal Wildlife
Nocturnal wildlife play indispensable roles in maintaining the delicate balance of ecosystems. Owls serve as natural pest controllers, while bats are essential pollinators and insectivores. Asian palm civets contribute to seed dispersal, and wild hares support predator populations. By rehabilitating these species, we not only safeguard their well-being but also uphold the ecological harmony they contribute to.
TEF’s Commitment
The establishment of a dedicated nocturnal wildlife rehabilitation enclosure represents a significant milestone in our shared mission to protect and preserve wildlife. Through our collaboration with PfA Wildlife Rescue & Conservation Centre, we are honored to be part of this transformative initiative. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter future for nocturnal wildlife in Bengaluru and beyond.
