KIte flying is a fun activity for most of us but has been identified as a major threat to the avian population, as the sharpened thread or manjaa causes immense damage to unsuspecting birds. Through its flagship, Emergency Relief Network (ERN) Project, The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) held the annual ERN meet and workshop spanning across two days collaborating with Raksha & Hope and Beyond in Jaipur. During the entire course of the camp, 6000 birds were attended to in Jaipur and Gujarat (Ahmedabad, Porbandar and Bhavnagar). Off these around 60% of the birds were released back to the wild.
