This includes; the rescue and rehabilitation of injured fauna, and community-based education for better animal protection and to prevent further neglect.

Elif Koyutürk (Director) warrants high acclaim for casting light on the heroic work at Think Wild. The film’s pivotal message is for us humans to grasp our destructive impact on Earth’s eco-system and to have a sense of empathy and understanding.
