Information of Coorg Wildlife Society
 This Mission covers Entire Kodagu District including its National park and 3 wildlife sanctuaries.
Coorg Wildlife Society Founded in 1980, the society has taken long steps towards its goal. Its efforts include the education of children by organising jungle visits, bird-watching, study of trees and plants, besides visits to remote areas to see nature in the raw. No greater impact can be effected than the tutoring of growing minds. Programmes include continuous dialogue with the most isolated farmer to make him understand his important role in his environment. Selected areas of forests and rivers have been set apart as preserves and sanctuaries to nurture the growth of animals and fish. Hunting and fishing of any kind has been proscribed entirely in these hallowed groves. The sound of express rifles and dynamite in the forests is now almost memories of a fearful past.
Prominent among the denizens are tigers, elephants, sloth bears, bisons, spotted deer, black buck, as also wild pigs, rabbits and a host of other quadrupeds. Reptiles too have notable representatives in the form of King cobra, hooded cobra, Brussels Vapour, Krait rock python, iguana and monitor lizards.
