One endangered Greater Adjutant Stork was released into the wilderness on Sunday by a team of Aaranyak. The bird-release event was held near Deepor Beel and the event was graced by Partha Sarathi Mahanta, DIG (Admin) and Indrani Baruah, DIG (CID) of Assam Police.
Notably, in November 18, 2022, ‘Tiku’, an endangered Greater Adjutant Stork, locally referred as Hargila, and a ten-day-old chick and her sibling fell down from a 70-feet tall tree in Dadara village of Kamrup district of Assam from a nesting colony. Fortunately, local resident Kandarpa Medhi was immediately able to spot these fallen nestlings. He promptly contacted the Greater Adjutant Conservation Programme (GACP) team of the region’s leading biodiversity conservation organisation, Aaranyak. The GACP team is headed by well-known conservationist Dr Purnima Devi Barman.
Immediately after these chicks had fallen off the nesting colony atop the tall tree, Dr Barman and her team members Manab Das and Dipankar Das came to rescue and took care of the distressed chicks. The chicks were handed over to Dr Rathin Barman, joint director of the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC), WTI and transported it to CWRC for their rehabilitation
