![Meet Manoj Gogoi, a man who risks his life every day to help save animals in Kaziranga. He grew up loving animals, and in 2007, his journey of saving wildlife started when he rescued a python. Since then, he has saved over 6,000 animals, including tigers, elephants, and rhinos.
When an animal is in danger, Manoj quickly goes to help, no matter how far or how late it is. He gives medical care to injured animals and helps them get better. During Assam’s big floods, he works hard to save animals, rescuing many, like hog deer, from drowning.
In 2008, Manoj started a group called Naturalists for Rescue of Snakes and Birds. He also trained over 100 young people to help him with rescues. His work has been shown on TV channels like Animal Planet, and people call him "Kaziranga’s Guardian Angel" for his bravery and care for animals.
