Around 60 hrs of intense leopard rescue operation followed by another 16 hrs of treatment
Gr8 feeling of satisfaction after seeing this 5 sec video when leopard found her way back into the forest after starving for 5 days inside the well.
Proud of leading the team @aranya_kfd

She was waiting in the cage to be released back into the wild

After assessing the conditions, it was clear that she had undergone severe trauma for last 5-6 days. There was a little window to act. Our Vet team did a great job by rescuing her & taking care of her needs & I would say that, she got her second life

Rescued from around 100 feet well, she responded to the treatment much faster than we expected.

Our team came up with innovation. We designed the cage; fabricated on the spot to facilitate the darting process & lifted the cage & animal net smoothly without any hassle
@CentralIfs @IFS_Officers

Monitoring the animal behaviour live through CCTV. We had set up our own mini war room

1st visuals of leopard inside the well. We set up the ladder with coir rope technique but it didn't respond. In majority of the cases, this technique gives result.

Day 1: We witnessed our team member RFO Siddaraju taking a bold & courageous step to go inside the cage in order to check the presence of leopard.
He is a hero. He was the source of inspiration for the team
