I recently found out about this organisation called People For Animal which is situated in Goa. Does anyone have any contact details to them?

Hey diplomacy,
The memebers of PFA Norma & Claude Alvares are a well known environmentalist couple in Goa. All the members of PFA are active environmentalists. There is certainly some work being done by them. Only thing that may bother you (like it bothers me) is that the promoters of this NGO dont have a legitimate source of income. (norma & claude own a book store in mapusa..."the other india book store" worth a visit but dont know how well the business is doing) And all the volunteers are involved in so many NGOs, that dont really know how much time they can dedicate to a single cause and how they can spare time to make a living.

thelaukik,

Thank you for the info! Are you saying it might be difficult to get a volunteer placement with them?
