A wildlife NGO known for rescuing bears and elephants is now under the scanner for allegedly being linked to poaching and illegal elephant trade.

Two employees were recently arrested in Madhya Pradesh for allegedly poaching 10 leopards; and now, a 2022 case reveals chats pointing to a senior official at Wildlife SOS discussing an elephant smuggled from Nepal. The NGO denies all allegations, calling them "concocted," but the trail leads to a former employee still featured on their website. What’s more; this isn’t the first time questions have been raised. Since 2007, investigators say they’ve had suspicions about how bear cubs ended up "abandoned" in hotel rooms, with no arrests made. The NGO’s CEO, Kartick Satyanarayan, is now dodging questioning by investigators and has sought Supreme Court protection. The bigger question? When trusted rescuers are accused of being part of the very crime they fight; who do you believe? #WildlifeCrime #WildlifeSOS #LeopardPoaching #ElephantSmuggling #WildlifeConservation
