Thank you, Chrissy, for the warm welcome. It was a thrilling experience to work with leopards that coexist with humans.

Hello Uchenna thank you for the warm welcome we should connect.

Hi Thirza,

Yes of course i would love to share some lessons learnt!

It is of utmost importance to educate and engage the local community after a rescue operation, depending on the condition of the animal. With India's rapidly increasing population, it is critical to control crowds effectively during negative interactions, such as when a cobra enters a house and the entire neighborhood gathers. Ineffective crowd control can lead to a risk of harm to both the animal and people. The key to a successful and safe rescue is effective communication with the crowd and adaptation to the unique situation. While carrying equipment and tools may not always be helpful, as a rescuer, it is vital to think quickly and provide emergency care for the animal.

One crucial lesson I learned while growing up was that data collection was not a standard procedure of the government, and this hindered our ability to address negative interactions and understand their underlying causes. Due to strict legislation, monitoring of the rehabilitated and released animal was not taken into consideration.

Effective communication and collaboration with wildlife hospitals are essential for a successful rescue operation.

Thank you Lara
