Small Animals Protection Program
Protecting small animals : birds, dogs, cats, monkeys including bees & butterflies.
Creating sanctuaries for small animals.
Creating a veterinary clinic for small animals
Our first step in this program is to create a fully equipped veterinary clinic on our campus dedicated to small animals ❤️ (dogs, cats, monkeys and birds). Our team will include a full time veterinary doctor, veterinary assistant as well as a dog catcher and small electric vehicle (to transport animals).
The clinic will provide services to reduce the suffering of all small animals including neutering for dogs and cats, vaccinations for dogs (rabies) as well as emergency interventions.
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.

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 species of birds and over 20 species of butterflies. 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, anti-rabies vaccinations & neutering).

Bees & Butterflies
Since we began our Miyawaki Forest 2 years ago, our butterfly species has increased to 20 species of butterflies! And we plan to attract more every year by introducing plants they love!
Our indigenous bee program consists of bee hives on our campus as well as a weekly education program.
Did you know that, along with bees, butterflies and dragonflies are wonderful pollinators?
