This partnership has created a holistic environment where these often-ailing elephants can truly thrive, where researchers can innovate, and where the broader community can witness a compelling model of responsible wildlife stewardship.

BGSW provided crucial funding that directly impacted the daily health and vitality of the resident elephants. This included the procurement of essential feeding supplies, meticulously tailored to the specific dietary needs of rescued elephants, many of whom require specialized diets for recovery from malnutrition or chronic conditions. Alongside this, their support ensured a consistent and readily available stock of vital medicines, including broad-spectrum antibiotics, effective anti-inflammatories, and specialized nutritional supplements, all critical for managing pre-existing conditions and addressing new health concerns promptly. A particularly game-changing contribution was the facilitation and setup of a state-of-the-art weighbridge. This robust and highly precise instrument is now essential for accurate and regular weight monitoring of the elephants. The direct impact of these interventions has been a dramatic improvement in the health and vitality of the elephants, many of whom arrived malnourished or suffering from chronic conditions like digestive issues or parasitic infections. Regular, precisely monitored feeding, now guided by accurate weighbridge readings, ensures optimal nutrition and allows for meticulous tracking of recovery progress. Their support enabled the installation of a solar-powered gate at the main entrance, significantly improving access control and operational efficiency. Concurrently, they funded the construction of robust and durable solar fencing designed to enclose the entire facility perimeter, providing an additional layer of security. Furthermore, BGSW's commitment extended to implementing a comprehensive CCTV system, ensuring the entire facility is covered by surveillance. BGSW's commitment extended beyond basic animal care, establishing a dedicated Training Centre and a comprehensive Research Centre at the facility. Their funding also facilitated the procurement of an X-ray machine for advanced diagnostics and a tractor for efficient maintenance. The implementation of rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling systems stands as a powerful testament to sustainable resource management and innovative environmental stewardship. The revitalized well now provides a reliable and consistent source of clean, potable water, addressing a fundamental and critical need for both the elephants (for drinking and essential bathing) and the facility staff. These initiatives significantly reduce the facility's reliance on external water sources, effectively mitigating the impact of the dry climate that characterizes Kolar, and serving as a powerful, tangible example of responsible water stewardship, thereby ensuring long-term water security for the entire facility. A standout contribution from BGSW is the funding for a specialized hydrotherapy pool. This facility provides immense relief for arthritic elephants by leveraging water's natural buoyancy to significantly reduce painful joint pressure, allowing them to exercise with less impact and discomfort. The natural resistance of water helps to gently strengthen supporting muscles, while carefully controlled warm temperatures and high-pressure jets improve circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate chronic aches. This specialized treatment not only enhances flexibility and range of motion but also contributes significantly to the elephants' overall physical and mental well-being, helping them to regain a much better quality of life and improved mobility.
