The Sahyadri Tiger Reserve (STR), Maharashtra Forest Department, and RESQ Charitable Trust (RESQ CT) have entered into a formal memorandum of understanding to strengthen scientific wildlife management, emergency veterinary response, population management, and human–wildlife conflict mitigation in the Sahyadri landscape, including the Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary and Sagareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary.

Under this collaboration, STR and RESQ CT will work jointly on wildlife health and veterinary care, science-based wildlife capture and translocation, and reinforcement of emergency response systems. The partnership includes the deployment of trained veterinary and technical teams, use of advanced technology and safe practices, development of post-release monitoring frameworks, and delivery of structured training programmes for frontline staff aimed at improving operational readiness and field efficiency. Both organisations will also support initiatives relating to population augmentation and the strengthening of long-term conservation planning within the landscape.
