For the first time in the history of Mumbai, a female leopard was radio-collared at Borivali’s Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) on Saturday. The big cat, named Savitri after the social reformer and educationist Savitribai Phule, was then released back into the wild.

Confirming the development, additional principal chief conservator of the Forest Wildlife West Sunil Limaye said, "We have successfully radio-collared one female leopard from SGNP and released it back into the wild. The study will be crucial in understanding the movement pattern of leopards and how they are using this landscape. As part of the project, a total of five leopards will be radio-collared, of which two will be radio-collared this year."
