Man saves wild animals battling for life

 India's urban spaces are more than just concrete jungles. They harbour animals like jackals, mongoose and nilgai. But life in a metro can also be tough for these creatures. A porcupine was rescued from an 18-feet well, a wolf snake gave the athletes a scare when it showed up in their rooms during the Commonwealth Games and a nilgai that was injured by speeding traffic. One man, Kartick Satyanarayan has been rescuing and rehabilitating the troubled wild creatures of the capital city for over a decade. "It's important that we bring more awareness so that they realise that these creatures are not there to bite them or attack them, but they are just performing their ecological role," Kartick said. Kartick's team runs a wildlife helpline and the moment it gets a distress call, it springs into action. So far, the team has saved nearly 9000 animals including many unusual and rare ones
.An endangered chameleon was rescued well in time while it was being smuggled all the way from the Western Ghats by a pet trader. It was malnourished when it was found and now Kartick and his team are trying their best to nurse it back to health so that it can be released back into the wild. Despite all odds, wildlife SOS ensures that the wild species are released back to their original habitat bringing a ray of hope for the wildlife in our backyard.
