Traffickers remain adaptable and profit-driven. Yet for the first time in years, the region’s enforcement community is not merely reacting – it is organising, training and collaborating at a scale designed to outpace the criminals.

The turning point came in 2002, when the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), in partnership with the Gujarat Forest Department and Tata Chemicals Ltd., launched an audacious campaign to save the species.

Union minister of state for environment, forest and climate change, Kirti Vardhan Singh, released the report, ‘Guardians of the Wild: Supporting India’s Frontline Forest Staff’.

on this World Ranger Day, while the world scrolls through headlines, the forest remembers – not in words, but in silence. In every rustling leaf, in every tiger that crosses a camera trap, in every rhino calf curled beside its mother – it remembers those who guard it, so others may live.

Accidental encounters with tigers have historically led to fatalities and injuries, making rapid medical response and efficient crisis communication a critical need.

With the introduction of ANIDERS in Pilibhit, WTI and its partners hope to foster a more harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife, ensuring the safety of both communities and endangered species in the region.
