Executive Director Nikki Sharp sits down with Director of Conservation Projects, Baiju Raj at our Agra Bear Rescue Facility to chat about his childhood love of reptiles, and how that love grew to compel him to help all wildlife.

Baiju Raj has been handling snakes and other wild animals since the age of 2. He is known at Wildlife SOS as the man who would go to the ends of the earth to save wildlife. 

Baiju began working with Wildlife SOS in 2005. He is a Member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Crocodile Specialist Group and oversees conservation and research in India. You can see Baiju in action in our new Nat Geo WILD series!
