Impressed with how Mumbaikars have been setting up a great example of peaceful co-existence with leopards in the city, the Maharashtra Forest Department has decided to implement a similar model across the state. The forest department will be creating leopard rescue teams at many places in the region, along the lines of teams in Mumbai and Thane, so that man-animal conflict situations can be addressed at the earliest.
