In the wild, leopards often venture out in search of prey, but in the dense forests, they encounter unforeseen perils. Recently, The Maharashtra Forest Department (Junnar division) along with Wildlife SOS team rescued a female leopard of approximately 7-8 years from a net trap in the Ghodegaon Forest Range.
Watch the full video to see how the team meticulously carried out the rescue operation and released back the leopard unharmed into the wild.

Wildlife SOS has been working in collaboration with the group ‘Hathi Mitra Dal’ which is an initiative by the Chhattisgarh Forest Department. The volunteers of the group track the daily movements of elephants and document the extent of crop damage and other incidents.
With their specialised vehicle called the “Gajraj vaahan”, they visit different villages and disseminate valuable information and precautionary measures to the residents. This is a great way to mitigate the human-wildlife conflict.
To understand more about the volunteer groups, you can now read the blog. Link in bio!💚

More often than not, Millie can be seen at the top of a tree climbing and engaging with her enrichments. Millie’s time at the Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre is filled with enthusiasm!💚
Whenever there are any cheerful sounds heard at the centre, the staff immediately know that they’re coming from Millie's field. At nearly 4 years of age, Millie is the youngest bear at our centre. Her sprightly nature makes her become an instant favourite for anyone who watches her.
Watch the full video to catch her mischievous acts!

We are sure we ‘caught’ your attention!
Just as the demand for animal skin and body parts increase, the wrath of snare traps engulfs our wildlife, leaving animals horribly injured. Despite hunting being illegal in India, the practice continues to be a serious threat to the wildlife.
