synopsis

In South East Asia the Greater Adjutant Stork, known locally as the Hargila, is a sight to behold. But this towering bird has seen its numbers dwindling rapidly to the point of endangerment. One woman has made it her mission to save this species from extinction. Purnima Devi Burman decided she had to take matters into her own hands, with no support from the government or financial resources, she raised a team of female environmental warriors to join her fight to save the Hargilas. She christened them The Hargila Army - and this is their story.
