October at CWS was a month of science, celebration, and new milestones.
As we marked Save the Frogs Day this month, we were reminded of the delicate balance that sustains life in the wild, and the urgency of protecting even the smallest species that play vital roles in our ecosystems. This month, our latest publication led by doctoral fellow, Simran Prasad, made waves globally with new scientific insights and extensive media attention, while CWS scientists represented India at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, sharing knowledge and building collaborations on a global stage.
In this edition of Into the Wild, we bring you stories of discovery, recognition, and the people whose dedication and curiosity continue to drive our mission forward.

Through the month of November, our teams found themselves participating in global forums, strengthening partnerships across India, and engaging communities through events rooted in music, education, and collective action. From international conversations on leadership and conflict, to regional conclaves shaping the future of government schools, to workshops and symposiums that deepened scientific knowledge, this month reminded us of how diverse voices and disciplines come together to advance our mission.
In this edition of Into the Wild , we bring you stories of fieldwork, learning, and leadership, from CWS scientists presenting cutting-edge research, to long-time supporters raising their voices for wildlife, to our educators inspiring the next generation of conservationists.

As we share our final newsletter of 2025, we find ourselves reflecting on a year that has been both exciting and deeply meaningful for all of us at CWS. This year was shaped by important milestones and steady progress across our programmes, from strengthening leadership within our teams, to expanding the reach and impact of our science, and deepening our engagement with communities across landscapes.
In this edition of Into the Wild , we bring you stories of fieldwork, learning, and leadership, and as we wrap up the year, this edition captures the people, ideas, and milestones that defined the last month of this year for us.

As the new year gathered momentum, January saw our teams deepening scientific research, strengthening our conservation initiatives, and laying the groundwork for the months ahead. Across landscapes and classrooms, we continued translating science into action. We also paused to celebrate the life of Dr. Madhav Gadgil, whose voice and vision have been instrumental in shaping conservation in India. As 2026 unfolds, we look forward to sharing much more from across our landscapes, programs, and people.
In this edition of Into the Wild, we bring you updates from the field, highlights from a recent publication and media coverage, and early insights into how the year ahead is taking shape.

Dear First name / friend,
While research and fieldwork continued steadily through the month of February, it also created space for deeper academic engagement, with admissions for our 2026 doctoral program commencing. Across teams, we remain committed to building a culture rooted in scientific rigor, open dialogue, and shared learning—extending that spirit not only within CWS, but to our wider community of supporters through our Wildlife Chronicles public lecture series.
February also marked Pangolin Day, a reminder of the quieter conservation crises unfolding across India’s forests. In this edition of Into the Wild, alongside updates from our Bengaluru office and field programs, we share a special pangolin comic that brings attention to the world’s most trafficked mammal and the urgent need to address wildlife hunting and trade. As always, we invite you to stay curious, stay engaged, and stand with us in strengthening science-led conservation in the months ahead.
