Wildlife Sos was formed back in 1995. A tiny group of people put their steps forward towards protecting the natural heritage, wildlife and forests of India and to conserve them. That small group has turned into an organization today that is completely evolved in the activities of conserving natural habitat for protecting wildlife, doing research works and learning biodiversity to find out ways for viable and alternative livelihoods for those communities of people who depend entirely on the Indian wildlife for nourishment. They are also famous for rescuing and protecting Asiatic black bear and a huge group of dancing bears (approximately 600 in count!) from the tribal people.

 

Actually, the bears are named so because the tribal nomadic and Kalandar people capture the bears from their natural habitat and train them to dance for earning money by using them as a way of street amusement. This has a route back in the time of the Mughals i.e. 400 years back in India. The in was the source of entertainment for the rulers. And, the tribal people are now using that method of entertainment as their living source.
