To understand the problem of man-animal conflict at Aarey Milk Colony, Sanjay Gandhi National Park authorities along with a Bangalore-based research team are trying to create a data bank of leopards in the area using the DNA analysis method. On Thursday, a group of researchers visited the colony and conducted a training session with local volunteers on ways to collect forensic evidence. The forest department believes that this activity can act as a crucial source of information in cracking poaching incidents as well.
