In a very recent incident, the Wildlife SOS & the Forest Department rescued two leopard cubs that were later happily reunited with their respective mothers. Earlier this week, sugarcane farmers from Kale village located in Karad taluka of Satara district stumbled upon a leopard cub while harvesting their crops. A growing population, expanding farmland and depleting forests have led to a manifold increase in man-leopard conflict in the area, hence the farmers, who were not startled to find the cubs on their farm, were also wary of a protective mother lurking in the vicinity. They immediately alerted the Forest Department, who sought to reunite the young leopard with its mother.
