We have come a long way in taking a stand against injustice when we can see it. But unfortunately, millions of voiceless farmed animals are still being subjected to inhuman cruelty in illegal dairies, slaughterhouses, etc. Their plight has been hidden from us, and their cries for help are muffled. These animals are stifled in dingy sheds and housed in abysmal conditions. They are injected with harmful substances to extract milk, mistreated, and finally transported to illegal slaughterhouses when they are of no use. IAF India Animal Foundation, along with other NGOs, have resolved to ease the pain of these farmed animals. The NGOs are actively involved in capacity building and advocacy.With more and more ill and injured animals being brought in each day, these NGOs are in urgent need of funds to fight on behalf of helpless farm animals and others. Your contribution can ensure the end of mistreatment for hundreds of animals.

If they are ill or injured, they are never given treatment. They are tied up in small spaces. Where there is space barely for 10, they keep 20, 30 or even 40 animals. And these animals spend their entire life in these painful conditions", says Dr Asher Jesudoss, animal welfare activist, who fights against the abuse of farmed animals.According to him, several crude, illegal and violent methods/practices are used to extract milk from cattle, which leave thousands with illnesses. “Labour pains are induced in cattle by injecting drugs; they are made to forcefully let down milk twice a day unnaturally. Their calves are pulled away and are not allowed to drink their mother’s milk. They are tied separately and later killed or left to die", he adds. With your support, Asher and the NGOs can fight this battle and provide a better future for the animals in illegal farms.Urgent need for donations“We are trying to give these animals a good life, but we are dependent on public support. I humbly request each one to come forward, and please donate whatever you can so we can give these farmed animals and others a life away from abuse and suffering,” says Asher.Donate to this fundraiser by India Animal Fund (IAF) on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to provide abused farmed animals a better future.

Cattle, bred for profit and abandoned after they stop producing milk, are often found malnourished, injured or sick on city streets. Many face bitter winters, starvation and death in road accidents - a sad fate for cows in a country where they are revered by lakhs of people. To save cows from such a sad end, Swami Ishwar Das started Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaushala, currently home to 18,000+ abandoned cows. But with the rising costs of fodder and medicines, he is struggling to provide the quality of care such mistreated animals deserve. “It was in 2010 when I witnessed abandoned cows from the streets in Uttarakhand being transported in a truck. The cows were administered anesthesia and stacked one above the other like lifeless goods. When me and a few of my acquaintances brought the cows off the truck, two of them died before my eyes and that sight shook me to the core. It was then that I started Shree Krishnayan Gaushala with 11 abandoned cows in a small donated land,” says Swami Ishwar Das.Swami Ishwar Das is unable to bear the rising cost of nutrition and medical care for injured cows and needs support to continue to save these voiceless animals. Donate now. All donations on this platform are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA).<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/ead01668-6b4d-4a8c-85de-30b43e174f22.JPG" />Every life matters“Here at Shree Krishnayan Desi Gaushala, it is our resolve to leave no stone unturned in caring for helpless cows. No matter what the cost of treatment may be, we make every possible effort to aid ill and injured cows. Our only objective is that a cow should not lose its life for the want of medical care, food or water,” says Swami Ishwar Das. In order to provide the best quality of care and treatment to its adopted cattle, three well trained veterinary doctors attend the gaushala 24/4. The NGO - Shree Krishnayan Desi Gauraksha Avam Golokdham Seva Samiti - spares no expense in providing nutrition either. From jaggery and grains to a healthy mix of green and dry fodder, cows are given meals best suited to their needs.With cost of fodder on rise the Gaushala needs help<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/93e7eafe-4438-40d6-ae40-6972feaf0988.jpg" />Swami Ishwar Das and his team, however, are struggling to keep up with rising costs of nutrition and medical care for cows. “The cost of fodder has risen by almost three times in the last couple of years. From food to medicines everything has become expensive. And we will never compromise with the quality of care and love that we want to give to our cows,” says Swami Ishwar Das. Help Swami Ishwar Das provide the best care and love to abandoned cows while saving them from a desperate life of starvation and suffering on the streets.

The Founder and Executive Director is Belinda Wright, a renowned tiger conservationist and wildlife campaigner who has spent over 40 years working on wildlife issues in India. From its inception, the Society's primary aim has been to provide focus, energy and knowledge to help tackle India’s growing crisis. WPSI does this by providing support and information to government authorities to combat poaching and the escalating illegal wildlife trade, particularly in wild tigers. Another major focus is human-animal conflict involving tigers, leopards and elephants, and the development of new conservation strategies. With a team of committed environmentalists, WPSI is one of the most respected and effective wildlife conservation organizations in India. WPSI supports conservation projects on subjects as varied as human-elephant conflict in Odisha and community support in the Sundarbans. Site-specific projects include assistance in and around protected areas, including Sundarban, Simlipal, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Tadoba, and Rajaji Tiger Reserves.

In the state of Odisha in eastern India, fragmented forests arduously support an estimated 1,976 wild elephants along with growing numbers of forest-dependent communities. The inevitable conflict between the two, struggling for limited resources, has led to huge loss of human life and property damage, as well as a decline in the wide-ranging elephant population. In 2019-20, Odisha is said to have lost 62 elephants and the human casualty due to conflict reached an all-time high of 104. Odisha’s forests are deciduous. The trees shed their leaves during dry months and become easy fuel for forest fires. Each year devastating forest fires exasperate the impacts of human-elephant conflict by forcing elephant herds into villages surrounding the edges of forests, in search of safety and food. Of much concern during this critical period is the practice of hundreds of local women collectors of Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFP), like kendu leaves and mahua flowers. Apart from taking huge risks by entering into elephant conflict zones, these women light un-controlled fires to clear leaf litter under the trees, unaware of its negative effects. Unfortunately, such fires spread quickly in prime elephant habitats and have become indirect drivers of human-elephant conflict. 
 To reduce the damage caused by human-lit forest fires on Odisha’s prime elephant habitats, we will train about 2,500 local women NTFP collectors (mainly kendu leaf and mahua flower collectors) on the use of controlled fires as a method to contain and prevent large fires. During our meetings with them, a dedicated and experienced Field Officer will focus on the safety measures to take during the controlled burning of mahua leaf litter. He will also generate awareness on the impacts of forest-fires on the distressed elephant populations and motivate the villages’ involvement in preventing further losses. About 100 forest-fringe villages falling in forest-fire prone locations in the districts of Dhenkanal, Keonjhar and Angul will be covered. These areas are critical elephant habitats that have reported some of the highest incidences of human-elephant conflict. Since the peak fire season begins from the month of February, we will target our activities just prior to, and during this crucial period. We also aim to strengthen regional efforts of the Forest Department by giving out the contact details of local fire squads as well the Forest Range Offices and Divisional Forest Offices where people can report fire incidences in their areas. 
 The targeted actions of this project will directly impact the critical forests surrounding 100 fire-prone villages in three elephant-range districts of Odisha. About 2,500 women NTFP collectors will benefit. With training and awareness, they will be able to safely collect forest produce without damaging vast tracts of forests. Prevention of forest fires in these areas will protect important wildlife habitats, allow the re-generation of forests and will greatly contribute in reducing conflict between people and elephants. In addition, the project will generate awareness on elephant conservation and support the efforts of regional Forest Departments. Since 2010, Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI) has been identifying and mitigating various threats to elephant populations in Odisha. Over the years, our persistent work has resulted in rectifying hundreds of sagging power lines (that cause elephant electrocutions), detection of poaching, and mitigation of disturbances such as forest fires in prime elephant habitats. Moreover, our role in building awareness for villagers affected by conflict has greatly encouraged community participation in elephant conservation. In the long term, our aim is to secure a future for Odisha’s elephants, by promoting the co-existence of local communities alongside wide-ranging elephant populations in ecologically viable habitats.
