The first episode ‘Camera Trappers of Aarey Forest’ is a story about how a citizen science project involving people from different walks of life is helping the Maharashtra Forest Department in long-term monitoring of leopard activity in the Aarey Forest using camera traps.
The leopard activity data gathered over the years by the team is a prerequisite for tracking encounters of the wild cat with human. Not only it helps the Maharashtra forest department during Human-Wildlife Conflict incidents, but also showcases the extraordinary story of coexistence in the forests of Mumbai, which is one of the places with highest density of leopards in the world.
