Our goal is simple & specific: to decimate the legal wildlife

Creating Public Awareness
about animal welfare
Adovocating -
legislation for animal protection

Protection of wild habitations
from adverse impacts
We at WildAID
Kashmir, conservation initiative of esro Kashmir, largest
wildlife advocacy group in the Valley, are committed to initiate
catalytic action to prevent destruction of Kashmir's
biodiversity resources, protection of wildlife, and curtailment
of animal abuse and exploitation, by providing media,
educational, legal, technical, and other forms of support and
advocacy.
We inform and educate the public through the media, internet,
and publications, about significant issues and legal battles
that need immediate attention and support, and we monitor,
generate, and disseminate media coverage of important
environmental and animal protection issues. We research,
analyze, and write about controversial issues that the public
needs to mobilize against to protect wildlife and other natural
resources from further degradation and depletion.
Kashmir WildAID provides resources, strategic, substantive
advice and expertise, to organizations. We help grassroots
activists develop and implement legal, organizing, media, and
lobbying strategies to achieve the goals. We can achieve greater
protection for wildlife in the courts, legislatures and the
regulatory agencies, when the public is educated and mobilized
to fight against the degradation of wildlife.
The mission of WildAID Kashmir, is also to monitor trade in
fauna in Kashmir and support enforcement measures for control of
illegal trade into and out of Kashmir. This is done through
trade studies, market monitoring, information gathering.
Study Background
The Kashmir region, straddling India, Pakistan, and China is one
of the world's most beautiful and remote. But long-standing
conflicts are contributing to environmental destruction here.
The environment of Kashmir is suffering from severe perturbation
and is drastically losing its biodiversity and ecological
balance. Though some problems existed before, 13 years of armed
turmoil in Kashmir is destroying its forests, lakes and
wildlife. As well as outright bombing destruction in the remote
mountains, the ongoing fighting between India and guerillas has
made forest work and patrols difficult and dangerous. Endangered
wildlife is freely poached and human habitation is destroying
the area’s ecosystem, leaving its fate hanging in the balance
environmentally as well as politically. Land mines don’t
discriminate between humans and animals and unfortunately
animals can ‘t sense mine fields and are therefore easily
trapped.
Help Us :
Looking to the
future, we need your help to create a world for our children where
animals like Kashmir Stag, Snow Leopard and Brown Bear exist safely
in the wild, rather than just in captivity or museums. If we don't
fight for this future, whole ecosystems will be in jeopardy, many
species will become perilously rare, and some will disappear
forever. We hope that you will join us in sharing a vision of a
world where wildlife and wild places are truly protected.
