Some guy took a photo of a leopard preying on his cellphone it seems. So close the leopards have been spotted. Maybe the cage idea will work. But not a permanent solution. They can create raised boundaries to clearly mark where we should not tamper with nature.

Two things boss. Even as back as in 2012, surveys report 36 cattle lifting cases from 5 km radius of residential projects. We have to bear the consequences for agricultural tracts converted to sites.

But the wildlife activists hhave a different say in all this. They say it is human intrusion that is causing such events. Leopards are highly adaptive creatures, and hhave been living on the fringes of farms feeding on cattle for long. This is not far from the residential projects

Whatever you say, it is really unsafe for residents in the locality. Imagine kids playing and all. Some Nature Conservation Fondation is planning to set some camera traps. That way they will know the leopard count in Chamundi Hills. But I wonder what is being done for the safety of the people.

I read somewhere in the news that two cages have been set up on top of the hills . Probably at the foothills too near Siddhartha Layout. Such a groing residential area, needs protection.

Yes. Actually Siddhartha Layout is closer to the Chamundi Hills. And leopards are known to live on the fringes of nearby forests. More farmlands acquired and converted for urban needs, there is conflict man!

Yeah you are right. It's crazy right? Its all due to the urbanisation of some of the village areas near the foothills of Chamundi hills. two to three of them were spotted in a week's interval! And in less than 5 months, 8 leopards have been relocated. Phew!
