2025 was a landmark year for Wildlife Rescue. For the first time, we crossed the 4,000-bird threshold — treating 4,214 birds across 4,184 cases, spanning 51 species.
This represents a 14.4% increase over 2024 and marks our 11.6x growth since 2010, when we treated just 362 birds from our home in Old Delhi's Walled City.
What drove the record:
- Expanded partner network: 10+ organizations now send us injured birds
- Our rescue vehicle enabled faster response times across Delhi
- The "All That Breathes" documentary continued to drive public awareness
- Community reporting increased significantly through WhatsApp
The busiest month: May 2025, with 656 birds — around 21 a day. Our team worked around the clock.
Looking ahead: We're preparing for an even bigger 2026 with facility upgrades, new equipment, and expanded team capacity. Thank you to every donor and volunteer who made 2025 possible.
