Bird poaching, a serious threat to the avifauna of West Bengal, benefits from the lack of constant vigilance on huge swathes of wetlands that exist outside the protected areas. HEAL’s extensive volunteer network regularly monitor such wetlands to keep poachers at bay. In collaboration with Wildlife Trust of India and West Bengal forest Department, more than 55000 meters of net were taken down, over 1000 birds were rescued and 5 miscreants were arrested from the district of Murshidabad, West Bengal, India.
