LIFES NGO · Our work
Seven programmes. One continuous chain of care.
Rescue, welfare, habitat, education, research, community and climate — each programme exists because the one beside it would fail without it.
Programme 01
Wildlife Rescue
LIFES operates rescue and rehabilitation facilities designed to restore animals recovered from illegal trade, captivity or injury. Ambulances and field vehicles allow our teams to respond to emergencies, while modern diagnostic, surgical and treatment facilities support recovery before an animal is returned to a protected natural habitat.
- Rescue ambulances and field response vehicles
- Diagnostic, surgical and treatment facilities
- Rehabilitation ahead of release into protected habitat
Programme 02
Animal Welfare
Our animal husbandry and welfare programmes are led by specialists working alongside veterinary experts, zoologists and animal researchers. Expansive open fields, enclosures and natural habitats give elephants, antelopes, deer, exotic birds and other species room to live as naturally as possible, with global best practice guiding day-to-day care.
- Open fields and natural habitats over confinement
- Specialist husbandry and advanced breeding practices
- Global veterinary and zoological expertise applied locally
Programme 03
Environmental Conservation
LIFES is a conservation-based initiative aligned with national wildlife policies and international frameworks, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We focus on wildlife protection, habitat conservation and biodiversity preservation — safeguarding forests, wetlands and grasslands both as living ecosystems and as vital carbon sinks.
- Habitat conservation and biodiversity preservation
- Forests, wetlands and grasslands protected as carbon sinks
- Aligned with national wildlife policy and the UN SDGs
Programme 04
Education
A dedicated animal school provides training and education in veterinary care, biodiversity and conservation. Students, researchers and eco-volunteers learn in the field rather than from a textbook, building the practical skills Pakistan needs to protect its wildlife over the long term.
- Training in veterinary care, biodiversity and conservation
- Field learning for students and eco-volunteers
- A pipeline of conservationists, scientists and animal advocates
Programme 05
Research
Our research facilities support wildlife studies, conservation breeding programmes and climate-related projects. We work in partnership with universities, NGOs and global institutions so that findings feed directly back into how animals are cared for and how habitat is managed.
- Research labs for wildlife and climate studies
- Conservation breeding programmes
- Partnerships with universities, NGOs and global institutions
Programme 06
Community Outreach
Conservation only lasts when the surrounding community shares in it. LIFES creates local employment opportunities — especially for women — across animal care, administration and visitor services, and works with neighbouring communities to build everyday support for wildlife protection.
- Local employment, with a focus on opportunities for women
- Roles across animal care, administration and visitor services
- Community awareness and shared stewardship of the land
Programme 07
Climate Action
LIFES is built to be climate-positive, not merely sustainable. Operations rely entirely on solar and renewable energy, waste is handled through an integrated management unit, and participation in carbon trading offsets emissions beyond our own boundary — contributing directly to Pakistan's commitments under the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- 100% solar and renewable energy
- Integrated waste management
- Active carbon trading to offset emissions beyond our borders
