On 22nd of March 2020, amidst the nation-wide Janta Curfew, a few RESQ staff came in to work early before 6 am and grounded themselves to look after the 150+ animals currently housed with us at the RESQ Centre. That’s when we got an emergency call from the Pune Forest Department about a young Leopard which had fallen into a well near Daund.

The completely empty roads ensured that our RESQ team in ambulances reached the location in record time. Thanks to the curfew, only essential personnel – Forest Department, Local Police and RESQ were present and rescued the leopard in under 30 minutes.

The young leopard is currently recovering at the RESQ Wildlife Treatment Transit Unit and will soon be released into a safe habitat.

[RESQ urges everyone to stay safe during this TIME. We have limited ourselves to bare essential (and movement controlled) personnel who are overstretched in looking after over 150+ animals at the Centre and we are responding only to life-threatening/critical rescues at this time.]
