Dehradun at a Crossroads: 6% of Uttarakhand's Area, 47% of Its Forest Diversion: While more than 46,000 hectares of forest have been diverted—an average of 5 hectares (50,000 Square Meters) every day— for some development activity like roads, mining and others during the past 25+ years in #Uttarakhand; the maximum diversion of "Forest Transfer for Development" has taken place in the district of #Dehradun. As many of you know, Uttarakhand has 13 districts and in terms of SQ KM, Dehradun is moderately sized occupying 6% of the state's total land area. Yet 47% of all "Forest Transfer for Devlopment" has taken place in the Dehradun district alone during that period. Ironically, this is the same Doon Valley that limestone mining ravaged in the 1980s and which became one of India's first Ecologically Sensitive Areas in 1989. Today, as its green cover faces unprecedented pressure, the valley once again stands at the crossroads between development and ecological destruction. Sharing one of my recent conversations with Dheeraj Sajwan of ETV Uttarakhand right from the heart of the city of Dehradun on this issue! ETVBharat Uttarakhand #Dehradun #DoonValley #Uttarakhand

A swift and highly skilled wildlife rescue in Manapparai Forest Range, Trichy, saw an Indian gaur safely brought out of an open agricultural well after nearly eight hours of coordinated effort by the Forest Department and Fire & Rescue Services. With conventional rescue methods ruled out, the team relied on precise veterinary intervention and a crane operation to bring the animal to safety, after which it was treated for minor injuries and released back into the Reserve Forest. Kudos to DFO Krithika & the veterinary team led by Dr. Kalaivanan, Dr. Sivachandran, and Dr. Muthuramalingam, Forest Rangers, local community and the entire team for a calm, technical and courageous rescue that reflects the very best of frontline wildlife response #wildliferescue #TNForest

Our Elephants are checking out the Mobile Wildlife Forensic cum Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at a Tamil Nadu Forest Department elephant camp. An initiative of the Advanced Institute for Wildlife Conservation in collaboration with Tamil Nadu Forest Department, this first-of-its-kind facility is providing advanced veterinary care directly into the field. Equipped with a haematology analyser, serum biochemistry analyser, microscope, centrifuge, refrigerators and a -20°C deep freezer, it enables rapid on-site diagnosis, disease surveillance, forensic investigations and instant diagnostic reports. By bringing sophisticated diagnostics to the doorstep of elephants and other wildlife, it enables faster treatment, reduces the stress of transportation and improves the chances of survival. Because our precious wildlife deserves the very best care #WildlifeConservation #TNForest

The alacrity shown by the frontline staff of Assam Forest Department reflects the deep empathy Assam has for the gentle giants. In order to prevent such situations, all new infrastructure projects in the State are being built in a manner which permits free passage for Elephants and wildlife.

A leopard injured after being hit by a car on a highway in Davangere, Karnataka, India, attacked a Forest Department official during a rescue operation. The animal had been tranquillised, but before the sedative took full effect, it lunged at one of the officials. The injured leopard was later rescued and shifted for treatment

Is Uttarakhand’s Kill Order for 13 Leopards & 3 Bears Politically Motivated? A secrecy report behind the order issued by the Chief Wildlife Warden of Uttarakhand directing the killing of 13 leopards and 3 bears, and the tranquilisation and capture of 16 tigers states that for a long time, neither the capture of tigers and leopards nor their deaths in conflict situations has led to any reduction in attacks on humans. What surprises me most about this order is this: when the secret report itself shows no decline in human-wildlife conflict, what sudden necessity has arisen to kill these animals in their own habitat? Is this decision politically motivated? Is it being carried out as a misadventure simply to please a certain vote bank and secure it for political gains? Issuing killing orders on such a mass scale is deeply disturbing for anyone who cares about wildlife. The biggest question that needs serious thought is this: How exactly will the specific aggressive animals be identified? What if a leopard that has never been involved in any such incident still ends up becoming a victim? That would be a serious matter of concern. It appears that swab samples are being stored after every human killing, and DNA matching will be done only after the animals are killed. This approach is completely wrong and unconstitutional. The Chief Wildlife Warden must revoke these orders and adopt a better, more scientific solution. Otherwise, this will amount to one-sided arbitrariness. I also appeal to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand to issue clear directions for the cancellation of this order. At the same time, the concerned officers should be instructed to find better and safer alternatives while ensuring the protection of these animals. #Uttarakhand #HumanWildlifeConflict #SaveLeopards #StopKillOrders #WildlifeConservation #PushkarSinghDhami

Every year large elephant herds migrate in Hosur from the adjoining Bannerghatta National Park and Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary often crossing into the forest agriculture interface of Jawlagiri and Denkanikottai leading to conflict. This is truly one of the toughest seasons for elephants,local people and the Forest staff. This region has seen some serious conflicts in the past. This year, our response is smarter and faster. Among many other interventions we are using a Thermal Drone customized for continuous monitoring which is proving to be a breakthrough. Real-time visuals are helping us detect herds early and guide nearly 50% of them back towards the interior forest areas before they approach habitations. It has also prevented accidental encounters, protected our ground teams, and more than doubled the efficiency of safe passage. On the ground, 20 anti-depredation teams work through the night, supported by phased installation of steel wire rope fencing along the 200 km forest boundary, which has already closed key crossing points in the Jawlagiri sector. Occasionally, elephants do enter open areas, and our teams ensure people keep away, avoiding risk and allowing safe passage. Technology, teamwork and dedicated field staff are helping Hosur lead in smarter coexistence. Kudos to the TN Forest team led by Jagdish S. Bakan IFS #TNForest #Humanwildlifeconflict #elephants v Tamil Nadu Forest Department

In a meticulously planned operation, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department relocated a wild tusker from O’Valley in the Gudalur region of the Nilgiris, a hotspot of recurring human elephant conflict. After weeks of monitoring and rehabilitation, the elephant was translocated somewhere in the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, a pristine habitat ideal for elephants. Led by the Chief Wildlife Warden along with Conservators, DFOs, veterinarians, ground staff and trained kumkis, the operation showcased precision, coordination across divisions, patience and professionalism. It ensured both human safety and wildlife conservation. Kudos to the dedicated team. 💪 #TNForest #ElephantConservation #HumanWildlifeConflict #KMTR #WildlifeProtection #ConservationInAction #TamilNadu

MEANWHILE IN DARJEELING: Rare Black Leopard Cub Spotted Along Mungpoo Road MUNGPOO: A remarkable wildlife sighting along Mungpoo Road has highlighted the rich biodiversity of the Darjeeling hills. Two leopard cubs were reportedly spotted at Bich Kaman, with one appearing to be a rare melanistic, or black leopard. The sighting is a powerful reminder that our forests and green corridors continue to provide habitat for some of the region’s most elusive wildlife. The presence of leopard families in human-dominated landscapes also underlines the importance of protecting natural habitats and promoting peaceful coexistence. Residents, motorists and visitors are urged to maintain a safe distance and not approach, chase, surround or disturb the animals. People should avoid loud noises, bright lights and following the animals for photographs or videos. The sighting is a privilege, but also a responsibility. By respecting wildlife and giving these animals the space they need, we can help ensure that the Darjeeling hills remain a thriving sanctuary for biodiversity. Parveen Kaswan, IFS
