WINGS

Every life matters, no matter how small or misunderstood!

on June 14, 2026, our dedicated WINGS member, Sankha Mishra, successfully rescued a Common Wolf Snake (locally known as Ghorchiti / ঘরচিতি) from a residential area in Asansol.

Thanks to his prompt action and expertise, the snake was safely relocated and released back into its natural forest habitat, away from human conflict.

A huge shoutout to Sankha for his constant dedication to wildlife conservation! 🌿🐍

Following our intensive Anti-Hunting and Wildlife Protection Campaign during Falharini Kali Puja (14th–17th May 2026), WINGS, in collaboration with Vidyasagar University (Wildlife Management & Ecotourism Course), proudly hosted a special Certification Event! 📄✨

Every participant who stood guard for our forests - engaging with communities, conducting naka checking, and spreading the message of coexistence was awarded with a certificate of appreciation.

This certificate is more than just paper; it recognition of your dedication to safeguarding our natural heritage under the Kharagpur Forest Division. 🐾💚

A massive thank you to the West Bengal Forest Department, Vidyasagar University, and every single volunteer. Together, we are securing a safer future for our incredible wildlife! 🌏🦅
