“Since then I have been engaged in rescuing small mammals, falling sick or in danger. As a tourist guide I was offered huge tips by tourists, which I used for rescuing animals. But of late, I have been facing serious fund crunch to save animals. As my rescue activities are increasing, I am running short of cages for animals. Moreover, as there are very less number of active rescuers in the region, I get calls from distant villages and towns to rescue wild animals. Although I try my best to reach them, but at times due to lack of money it becomes difficult to save the creatures,” Gogoi said.
