Vision

Founded in 2019 by Dr. Ramakanta Panda, Padma Bhushan awardee and India’s leading cardiac surgeon, the Asian Wildlife Trust (AWT) is dedicated to ensuring conservation and community welfare go hand in hand. We believe protecting nature must also empower the people who depend on it - bridging wildlife preservation, habitat restoration, and human well-being.
