Rehabilitation ad Release Programme
PFA has rehabilitation centres, designed to re-integrate displaced animals into their original habitats. Veterinarians, animal ethologists, and caregivers work together to successfully rehabilitate the animal. Rehabilitation strategies vary based on species and condition, with key aspects including minimizing human interaction, providing a diet similar to their natural food sources, enhancing hunting instincts, and creating enclosures that simulate natural conditions. The centre has specialized enclosures for different species, including aviaries, reptile enclosures, primate treatment areas, and curated habitats for small mammals. 3 in 4 animals rescued are released. Release locations are selected depending on habitat type, population density, environment and unnatural threats.
