Stories from India: Bipin saved an elephant at 16. Now he’s devoted his life to them

Bipin Kashyap, a resident of Assam, has loved wildlife, especially elephants, since childhood. His passion grew stronger at 16 when he rescued an elephant. Since then, he has devoted his life to protecting and saving them, considering them part of his family. He can even recognise many older elephants. During the rainy season, when elephants fall into streams, Bipin quickly rushes to rescue them with the help of his companions. He also works with the forest department to treat and support injured elephants.
