Decks cleared for a wildlife treatment center

NASHIK: After the wait for the wildlife treatment center in Nashik ended in April, the construction of this center in real sense will start soon. The tender process is underway by the Public Works Department for the work of this center and this process will be completed in the next three to four days. In a few days, a transit treatment center for wildlife will be set up at Meri Mhasrul in the forest department.

Considering the importance of the transit treatment center for wildlife in Nashik city, the Guardian Minister had given it the green signal. Geographically, Nashik city is in the center, so there was a great need for a wildlife treatment center in Nashik. The Forest Department has been making continuous efforts since 1998 to set up a transit treatment center for wildlife in the district.

Finally, the wait is over and the center is being set up in Nashik, which will also treat injured wildlife in North Maharashtra. In case of wildlife injuries, they were sent to Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Katraj or Borivali in Pune for treatment, often due to delay in treatment. The proportion of wild animals injured in accidents is due to conflicts between wildlife due to dominance in natural habitats or predators. Sometimes accidents cause physical injury to wildlife.

The leopard falls into the well and gets injured. Such a center was needed to treat such injured wildlife. Therefore, this center was very much needed for Nashik. To date, wild animals like leopards, jackals, hyenas and deer have been injured in accidents due to vehicle collisions at various places including Mumbai-Agra Highway, Trimbak Highway, NashikAurangabad Highway. Last year, 7 leopards, 11 turtles and 2 jackels were injured due to various reasons and were sent to Pune, Mumbai and Gujarat for treatment.
