With leopard sightings and attacks on the rise in Junnar, a special awareness campaign on human-leopard conflict was jointly organised by the Vanyajeev Nisarg Sanvardhan Rescue Team, Junnar, and the Word for Nature Foundation.

Held during the ongoing sugarcane harvesting season — when leopards often seek shelter in dense fields — the drive aimed to educate sugarcane workers and locals on identifying leopard activity, staying alert, and working safely in high-risk areas.
