What We Do
RAWW is a Mumbai based non-governmental organization with a mission to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts and work towards urban wildlife conservation. RAWW was started in 2013 with the help of young student volunteers whom we call the real change makers.
What do we do?
We rescue, rehabilitate, provide immediate treatment and temporary foster care to the wild animals, birds, and reptiles in the city and ensure that they are released into the natural habitat. As you read this, an injured monitor lizard with multiple fractures rescued from one of Mumbai's busiest station CSMT is battling for life. At the same time, a two-month-old orphaned baby monkey, laali, found beside a pool of blood in 2018 is being fostered by a human family in Palghar. While, Sultan, the old eagle owl, who may never be able to fly again is adjusting to his life in an urban environment hoping to survive a little longer.
Why should you care?
Pawan was only 13 years old when he rescued a snake with the help of a bucket and the hook of an aluminum hanger. A Russell's Viper had entered his building premises and gobbled up one of his kittens. While the society members were convinced that the venomous snake was a threat and should be eliminated (read killed), Pawan somehow assured the members that he would rescue and release it in its natural habitat.
He might be only 26 years old, but Pawan has already rescued over 5000 snakes, actively participated in major leopard rescue operations in Mumbai, and assisted the forest department in nabbing culprits indulging in the wildlife trade. At the age of 24, he was appointed as the honorary Animal Welfare Officer (Appointed by the Committee to Monitor Animal Welfare Laws in Maharashtra by the Bombay High Court and Government of Maharashtra). Today, he is one of the youngest honorary wildlife wardens working with the Maharashtra Forest Department (Thane city) and heads the non-governmental organization- Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare (RAWW).
