Aaliya Mir is the Education Officer for Wildlife SOS in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. She leads a team of people working to reduce the amount of human/wildlife conflicts that occurs in the region. She got started with her work in 2007 when there was a bear burnt alive and dragged through the streets. This horrifying display of brutality led her to take the initiative to do something to help the threatened and misunderstood wildlife in her community. 
In an all night anti poaching rescue operation based on intelligence provided by Wildlife SOS, four young male sloth bears were seized from poachers on the Indo Nepal border. Six persons were arrested by Police and the Forest Department in the night long operation that lasted several hours carried out in the Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. 
In a dramatic seven hour long rescue operation by NGO's Wildlife SOS and Friendicoes SECA with the cooperation of the Delhi Police and the Fire Department, an injured adult leopard was rescued from South Delhi's chattarpur area.
