At WCTRE, our goal is to dwell more into the richness of several habitats in India through research and education. A well planned and structured research answers most of the current confusing and demanding questions regarding wildlife conservation and awareness.

Our key areas of work

Conservation of avifaunal habitats across the state and country
Conservation of water bodies, lakes and wetlands through community-based awareness programmes
Reptile conservation and detailed studies on nesting and habitats
Marine biodiversity importance and mitigating threats through collaborations
Addressing urban biodiversity issues through impactful media
Capacity building programmes in schools and colleges
Celebrating environmental days through unique public programmes

Goals

Habitat

We study habitats both during projects and beyond, with an emphasis on biodiversity richness and long-term protection for urban and rural locations.

Wildlife

WCTRE focuses on corridors, conflict mitigation, plantations, ecological adaptations and research across mammals, reptiles and birds.

Climate

Climate change has impacted ecosystems worldwide. We work to document those effects and support resilience for terrestrial and marine environments.

Communities

Community participation is key. Local stakeholders help ensure conservation results last across generations.

CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES

Caring and protecting resources can be done in many ways. It involves bonding with nature, understanding its ways, its hidden agendas and miracles. A little extra patience and an observing eye is all it takes to understand a small process to great details. Our researchers have been working in their respective fields since past few years, including reptiles, mammals, birds and more through research and exploration. Our enthusiasts are out on the field from conducting rescues to awareness programs explaining the importance of even the smallest “ant” in the backyard garden.

Every Word Matters!

Wildlife Conservation through Research and Education is something which is the need of the hour and this NGO definitely has some young members who are totally competent to carry out this activity and each one of them is specialized in one or the other group of species which is definitely an asset of the organization. I wish them good luck in all their endeavors and hope to get some meaningful results in the field of Wildlife Conservation.

WCTRE is an organization established by a group of young motivated nature and wildlife enthusiasts. They are doing a wonderful work regarding generating awareness on wetlands, avian fauna and turtle conservation which are mostly neglected otherwise. I wish the best to WCTRE in their efforts towards the noble cause of wildlife conservation.

Mr. Anant Shankar IFS, DFO, Visakhapatnam.

Youth can lead change. Youth is creative. Youth is hope. Leading change and creating hope for a better planet is this wonderful group of youngsters who have united to form Wildlife Conservation Through Research and Education (WCTRE). Passionate about nature and driven by science based evidence, WCTRE is the new kid on the block NGO that is moving towards the right direction in protecting our nature and natural resources. They are working in a landscape- the Eastern Ghats, that needs urgent attention. We need more youth to take charge of the environmental movement and gather more people with them in this journey. I envision WCTRE to be the voice for the voiceless- be it the forest and wildlife or the human communities that inhabit our forest areas.
