No Ordinary Rescue

Season two of No Ordinary Rescue returns with more engaging rescue stories of ordinary civilians across Asia. About 200,000 children in China are reportedly abducted and trafficked each year. Parents now use social media to find their missing children. Over in Taiwan more mammals are beaching on the coast, while migratory birds passing through China fall prey to hunters. What are ordinary citizens doing to save this wildlife?

Meanwhile haze from wildfires in Thailand and Indonesia have caused millions to fall ill. A group of youngsters, many of them still schooling, have decided to learn to firefight and become activists to change the situation for good. And with more than 10 million people suffering from Alzheimer’s, 500,000 elderly reportedly lose their way each year because of this disease in China, how are the volunteers guiding these missing elderly home? In Taiwan, volunteer rescuers with modified 4WD vehicles brave extreme terrains to deliver aid during natural disasters.
