Meet the Wolves of Maharashtra — starting with a post about wolves of Pune district. Take a look into our ongoing photo-identification project tracking individually recognizable wolves across six districts, with a special focus on breeding pairs that anchor pack stability. Built through years of fieldwork with our team and local Wildlife Watchers, this is a race to understand and protect one of India's most understudied large carnivores.

Ahilyanagar still holds what much of Pune has lost. Vast, undisturbed grassland habitat. But that window is closing fast. Our team and local Wildlife Watchers have profiled resident wolves across two talukas here, focusing on breeding pairs that anchor pack stability. A race to understand and protect this landscape before it's too late.

TGT combines field research with community engagement to protect this ancient lineage from extin

The Indian wolf was recently declared Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, an assessment that marks the first time the species has been globally recognized and evaluated separately as a distinct lineage. With only an estimated 2,877–3,310 mature individuals remaining across India and Pakistan, the assessment highlights that the ancient wolf population is facing a steady decline due to habitat loss and severe human persecution, urgently necessitating dedicated conservation efforts
