LIFE · Conservation NGO · Sindh, Pakistan

Every animal we reach is one the wild almost lost.

LIFE rescues, treats and rehabilitates Pakistan's native and endangered animals, and protects the grasslands, wetlands and forests they depend on.

Our mission

Protection on the ground, compassion in the culture.

LIFE works to protect Pakistan's native and endangered animals, restore the habitats they depend on, and build a culture of compassion where wildlife can live free from poaching, trafficking, captivity and habitat loss.

Our vision

A Pakistan where conservation is a shared national value — where protected grasslands, wetlands and forests thrive as carbon sinks, and where a new generation of conservationists, scientists and animal advocates carries the work forward.

Why LIFE

Why supporters trust this work

We were built to close a gap: there was nowhere in the province for animals recovered from illegal trade to safely go.

Space, not cages

More than 3,000 acres of open fields, enclosures and natural habitat so animals can live as naturally as possible.

Care led by specialists

Husbandry and welfare guided by veterinary experts, zoologists and animal researchers, applying global best practice.

Climate-positive by design

Fully renewable operations, integrated waste management and carbon trading that offsets beyond our own boundary.

Aligned and accountable

Work built around national wildlife policy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, reported openly to supporters.

Voices

What people around the work say

There was nowhere in the province to place animals recovered from illegal trade. Now there is space, care and a route back to a natural habitat.
