Can one conservation mission help save one of India’s rarest birds—or reveal just how difficult survival in the wild can be?

In this wildlife documentary, Animal Vised explores the extraordinary story of the **Great Indian Bustard**, a critically endangered bird native to the grasslands of India.

In October 2026, captive-bred Great Indian Bustards were released into the wild at Desert National Park near Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. It was a major step in a long-running conservation effort. But the mission soon faced a serious setback when a six-month-old male bird was reportedly killed by a fox just four days after its release. Plans to release seven more birds were put on hold while safety measures were reviewed.

This documentary explores the promise of conservation breeding, the challenges of rewilding, the importance of grassland ecosystems, and the difficult decisions facing wildlife conservationists.
