Dinesh Goswami Labourer From Gujarat Sets An Example For Animal Lovers As He Saves More Than 500 Whale Sharks :-  A labourer in a factory in Kodinar in Saurashtra, Goswami did not really know the importance of whale sharks that migrated to the coast of Saurashtra. These sharks would get stuck in the nets, or die due to some form of suffocation and be found on the coast. Near Kodinar. Goswami's life changed when he met award winning director Mike Pandey who informed him about the marine creatures. Since then, there has been no looking back for Goswami. He runs an NGO called Prakruti Nature Club, Kodinar where people from around the place call him to rescue animals. He has so far, saved more than 500 whale sharks on his own.

 

He began this operation alone after 1997, when he would stay in touch with the heads of villages on the coast and get calls from them whenever there was a whale shark spotted in trouble. He would go ahead in a fisherman's boat, free the creature and come back to his normal job as a labourer. "Sometimes it takes not more than 15 minutes, and sometimes it takes an hour to detangle these sharks. They are large in size which is only one of the challenges I faced in rescuing them," Goswami told us.
