A week ago, after receiving information that a monkey was injured on the highway in Nijgadh Bazaar, Bara, the 'Wildlife Rescue Team' at the Parsa National Park Adhabhar Office immediately reached the spot. The team treated the monkey and released it in its natural habitat.
The park administration established this team at the office while celebrating Wildlife Week in the first week of Baisakh. Earlier, the situation of having to call the technical team of the National Trust for Nature Conservation Sauraha to treat any wild animal has now come to an end.
After the park administration started mobilizing such a team, the rescue and treatment of wild animals has also become easier. Santosh Kumar Bhagat, Conservation and Information Officer at the park office, informed that the rescue team includes veterinarians, technicians, drivers and additional staff as needed. "As soon as information is received, rescue teams are mobilized to Parsa, Bara, Makawanpur, and Rautahat," he said. "The rescue and treatment of wild animals is going very smoothly."
Earlier, by Chaitra, the park administration, with the help of a technical team from the National Trust for Nature Conservation Sauraha, had rescued and treated 1 leopard gecko, 6 chitals, more than 100 snakes including cobras, 25 king cobras, 15 pythons, 1 salak, and 3 other wild animals including nilgai from various places in the park and the surrounding areas and released them into their natural habitats.
This park also includes Mahendra and Tribhuvan Highways, and since there is a high volume of vehicles on these highways, many wild animals have been hit by vehicles. So far in the current fiscal year, 1 leopard, 2 deer, 5 chitals, 15 monkeys and 3 other wild animals have died in the park due to vehicle collisions and other reasons. He said that awareness is being raised among drivers, co-drivers and traffic police during Wildlife Week to reduce such incidents.
