In the sacred groves around Rajasthan's Dhawa Doli Wildlife Sanctuary, an unexpected threat is emerging. As farmland pushes into wild habitat, rising numbers of free-ranging dogs have started hunting chinkara and blackbucks, often driving them into barbed wire and killing them. Thankfully, Sharvan Patel and his friends step in as guardians, mobilising the community, building waterholes, and rescuing injured deer.
