About the Aliya Mir

Aliya Mir, who serves as the Head of Education System in the Wildlife SOS Program, is known for her remarkable efforts in rescuing a wide range of wild animals, including birds, Asiatic black bears, and Himalayan brown bears. She has also gained fame for her ability to catch snakes and releasing them back into the wild. Aliya’s notable rescues include the Levantine viper, a venomous snake, from the regional residence of the then chief minister, which made headlines due to its size of about 2 kg, and a viral video of her rescuing a snake trapped in a scooter in Jahangir Chowk.
