Wildlife Trust of India

Wildlife Trust of India works to protect wild animals and their habitats across the country, and to help people and wildlife live alongside each other safely. Its teams work in forests, villages and towns, often with state Forest Departments, local communities and health services. Much of this work is practical and hands-on: rescuing animals in trouble, training local people, and building systems that keep both animals and people secure. Snakes sit at the heart of one of India's hardest human-wildlife problems, because fear, unsafe handling and delayed medical care cost lives every year. This role sits within WTI's Indian Snake Rescue Network, which builds trained rescuer networks, promotes safe and ethical rescue practices, and works to reduce deaths from snakebite.

Role

This is a field-leading role for someone who wants to change how a whole state handles snakes.



You will run the on-ground work in three target districts of Rajasthan, building and supporting a network of trained local snake rescuers, working with the Forest Department to keep the project moving, and reaching communities, schools and health facilities with clear information about snake ecology, snakebite prevention and getting to treatment in time. The work mixes conservation science with everyday practical support: responding to conflict cases, keeping good records, and making sure a rescuer in a village has the skills and backing they need.

Responsibilities

Lead field level work to reduce human-snake conflict and promote science-based snake conservation across three target districts.
Coordinate with the Forest Department and other government stakeholders so project work runs smoothly.
Identify, select, train and certify local snake rescuers across the target districts.
Coordinate with trained rescuers so reporte
