Goodbye 2021: Year ender from Forest department of Madhya Pradesh: Post covid-19 outbreak, while #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon has been trending, some surprising and scary incidences presented cases of human-animal conflicts.
Post covid-19 outbreak, while #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon has been trending, some surprising and scary incidences presented cases of human-animal conflicts.
On the sad note, Madhya Pradesh recorded one of the highest ever death rate of tigers. The toll inched to 44 in the state by Thursday. This could be much higher, as these are recorded deaths of most adult tigers that were killed.
While the survival rate of tigers from the cub population is already low. It is generally accounted to 50 percent on average.
In the latest death reported this week, a tiger was found dead in Chhindwara. This took this year’s toll to a shocking 44.
Earlier this week, a tigress was killed in Dindori, apparently after someone poisoned its kill, a bison. This is one of the highest annual tiger death tolls in MP in decades.
Some major incidents that put a big question mark on forest department and management of wildlife were reported in leopard cases all over the state.
One of the biggest fails reported in Indore was missing of a paralysed leopard for five days. Further, attacks from leopards have been frequently reported with human deaths and injuries.
This clearly points to the rising conflict, perhaps because of unavailability of enough prey and forest land encroachments by people.
On that note, encroachments have continued on forest land. MP has 54,1731.28 hectares of forest land encroached by people as stands on 2021.
The fear and panic citing lack of facilities with rescue team of Indore was pointed out first in a case, where a leopard rescue took six to eight hours. The leopard had also attacked five people including two forest official.
This was further substantiated when the cage of rescue team had broken mesh.
Here is look back at some essential incidences of wildlife & forest activities, with a hope to see a brighter future for human and animals in the state in 2022.
Paralysed leopard went missing for 5 days in Indore
Much like a movie, the rescue leopard that was missing for five days now, suddenly appeared near the nursery area behind guest house of forest department office on the sixth day in Navratanbagh area.
The forest team rescued the injured weak leopard cub and took it to Kamla Nehru Prani Sanghralaya immediately. The leopard cub is still finding it hard to recover.
The leopard was brought from Nepanagar, Burhanpur. It was rescued by Nepanagar forest department.
The leopard was brought to Indore city zoo for check-up and treatment. It was brought late on Wednesday night.

24-hour later, leopard that injured 6 was rescued in Indore
Six people were injured in the leopard attack, including rescue team officials in Limbodi, Indore.

Few among many leopard attack cases
The leopard population is highest in Madhya Pradesh and continues to rise, but on the other hand, so is the man-animal conflict.
In the recent incident, a leopard took away a small child who was sleeping with his grandmother in Udayanagar in Dewas district, on May 11, 2021.
The leopard, which attacked a two-year-old girl, was finally caught by the rescue team from Ralamandal, Indore and forest workers of Dhar after five-day rescue operation on October 17, 2021.
