Pinkcity Zoological Park Foundation

You can find our small team over at the World Trade Park in the Malviya Nagar area of Jaipur. We are located up on the 5th floor in room A-524. It is a bit of a trek if you decide not to wait for the lift, but the view of the city from up here makes it worth it. Being inside such a massive, shiny shopping mall feels a little bit strange for a group called Pinkcity Zoological Park Foundation, but it serves as a good base for us. We spend most of our hours thinking about the animals and the few natural spaces left around Rajasthan. It is getting tougher for wildlife these days with all the new buildings and roads going up everywhere, so we stay busy trying to keep an eye on things. We are not some huge government department with a thousand employees. It is just a handful of us in this office. Some days the paperwork is piled so high you can barely see the desks, and the old coffee machine is the only thing that keeps us moving. We occasionally get shoppers who get lost looking for the cinema and end up at our door by mistake. We just point them in the right direction and go back to our files. Jaipur is growing so fast, and we worry about the green parts disappearing for good. Our office is not fancy inside, just basic furniture and some photos of the outdoors. We are just trying to make sure the local animals have a future here.
