The AMTE Animal Ark Anandvan, Chandrapur
This project was started in 1973 by Dr. Prakash Amte. People travel 100-150 km to this place for treatment. The animal rescue started with a baby monkey. One day Prakash Amte saw a group of people coming back from the hunt carrying 2 dead monkeys and one baby monkey(which was alive). Dr. Prakash asked them to give him the baby monkey so that he can cure the monkey but the hunters said that 2 monkeys won’t be enough for 50 people to eat. Dr. Prakash Amte offered them rice and took the baby monkey for treatment and from here the center has started rescuing animals also.
