#SmartPanvel

Gaur strays into a dense industrial area at Taloja MIDC Panvel. The Panvel Forest Department responded immediately and swung into action by limiting movement in the area to ensure no untoward incident. With no option to provide it safe passage, the Panvel Forest Department alerted the RESQ CT team to respond at the location to assist them in translocating him to a safer place. Our team reached there at 5 pm and immediately begun strategising the best option to capture him with minimal stress. Lucky for us all, he moved into a secure factory premise, limiting his movement and preventing any potential harm to himself or public. During this time, a ramp was constructed with the help of a JCB to facilitate its entry into a large truck that was enriched quickly to make it look green and conducive luring him in. Once everything was in place, the #Gaur was driven towards it. He cooperated incredibly as he walked right in and stayed calm. The teams immediately set off on their road journey to release in a safe habitat. The rescue and release process went off smoothly with absolutely no complications, all thanks to the incredible coordination between the Forest Department and RESQ team on ground. As we had done several training and awareness sessions together, teamwork last evening was like dream work! In the end, what we are happiest about is the minimal stress the animal was put through in the entire process that was managed like clockwork! #wildlife #wildliferescue #Maharashtra – at Taloja, Panvel
