One of the water tanks built for wild animals in Ranmala village
Three farmers in Khed have figured out a way to overcome man-animal conflicts in their area. They have come together and built two water tanks and refurbished an old one, so that wild animals, especially leopards, can have easy access to water and not go roaming about looking for it.
More than 10 cattle, pets and humans have been attacked in Ranmala village of Khed taluka in Pune district by leopards in the past two years. To prevent such incidents, the three farmers constructed the tanks under the guidance of Samyukta Vanvyawastha Samiti (a group of locals) and forest department officials.
