Two brothers, one injured kite, and a mission that changed everything.
From a home in Old Delhi to the world's largest raptor rescue.
Brothers Nadeem and Saud find an injured Black Kite. Told by hospitals that they "do not treat carnivorous birds," they begin learning to heal raptors themselves.
The brothers formally establish Wildlife Rescue, dedicating their lives to raptor conservation in Delhi.
Wildlife Rescue is registered as a charitable trust. Case #317 marks the start of formal record-keeping. 362 birds rescued in the first year.
Intake surges 181% to 1,017 birds as the partner network activates. Wildlife Rescue transforms from a home operation to a real rescue center.
Sparrow Award from Wipro Nature Forever Society. FIAPO Special Award. Included in Limca Book of Records. 1,926 birds rescued.
Despite India's strict lockdown, Wildlife Rescue never closes. Annual intake drops only 1%. "Even during a global pandemic, we never closed our doors."
The Oscar-nominated documentary brings global attention. Intake jumps 24% to 3,500 birds. Wins Sundance Grand Jury Prize and Cannes Golden Eye.
All That Breathes nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 95th Academy Awards, BAFTA, and DGA Awards.
