The Wild World of India's "Bear Man"
About this episode
The episode explores the life and work of Kartick Satyanarayan, known as the 'Bear Man of India', who has dedicated his life to rescuing sloth bears and protecting wildlife.
The "Bear Man of India" is best known for his work rescuing sloth bears from inhumane conditions, but Kartick Satyanarayan knew he wanted to help animals from a young age. It all began with full-moon nights spent high in a jungle tree, watching a procession of wild animals visit a nearby watering hole. In the intervening 30 years, he's braved the "timber mafia" and even gunshots in a tireless crusade to protect wildlife. Guest: Kartick Satyanarayan, Co-founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS Originally aired May 29, 2024
