Making Safer Areas for Small Animals and the Public
Protecting Birds - Bird Sanctuary
The Siddha Medicinal Forest surrounding the Sri Narayani Holistic Clinic is a bird sanctuary. Since we planted the first trees in 2007 in our 17 acre forest, we have spotted 20 different species of birds. This fills our hearts with joy.
However, stray dogs present a problem to keeping a safe environment for the wildlife within the forest. They are also responsible for the dramatic reduction in the number of peacocks (from 8 to 1 peacock). As peacocks are the national bird of India, we wish to protect them and all wildlife residing in the forest. Providing better conditions for stray dogs (feeding) and moving them from the forest area to more suitable areas will improve life for all.

Protecting Dogs
There has been a significant increase in the stray dog population in and around our campus in Vellore, South India.
The purpose of this program is: alleviate suffering of the street dogs, improve the environment and make the area safe for the public.
Public Health: For the safety of those coming in to contact with dogs is at significant risk. Dog bites have been reported. We wish to provide rabies vaccinations for all dogs.
Environment: Medicinal plants and other delicate plants being grown in our Siddha Medicinal Forest are at risk from the ever-increasing dog population. We wish to create a peaceful environment for all.
Animal Welfare: Street dogs are suffering unnecessarily. We wish to lead by example, ensuring a reduction of dogs through birth control and a reduction of suffering through feeding and providing water for the dogs.
Wildlife Preservation: There is a risk of street dogs harming other animals. We can assume that the dogs are responsible for the dramatic reduction in the number of peacocks in the Siddha Medicinal Forest from eight to now one. We wish to create better conditions for both street dogs (so they are fed) and wild animals.
