In the village of Vishal Lungwa in Makwanpur Gadhi-3, a man narrowly escaped an attack by a wild leopard on Thursday evening. The man, who was returning home on his motorcycle, recounted his encounter with the leopard in the Kalikholam area. After hitting the leopard with his motorcycle, he managed to escape into the jungle and eventually found safety. The incident has raised concerns among the locals about the increasing frequency of such wildlife attacks in the Makwanpur region.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his opinion on the matter, stating that incidents like these are becoming more common in the area and are causing distress to the local residents. He emphasized the importance of raising awareness and being cautious while traveling, especially in jungle areas where encounters with wild animals can occur.
In a separate incident earlier this week, a leopard attacked and killed a local goat in Makwanpur Gadhi-6, highlighting the growing conflict between humans and wildlife in the region. The Division Forest Office in Makwanpur has urged the public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to prevent such incidents.
The local authorities have identified areas where such attacks are more likely to happen and have installed CCTV cameras to monitor wildlife movement. The recent increase in aggressive behavior from wildlife, particularly leopards, has prompted the community to stay alert and follow guidelines provided by the authorities.
In light of recent events, it is essential for residents to exercise caution, especially during nighttime travels and to report any unusual activities or sightings to the relevant authorities promptly. The Division Forest Office has assured the public of their efforts to address the issue and ensure the safety of the community.
As incidents of human-wildlife conflicts continue to rise, it is crucial for both authorities and residents to work together to find sustainable solutions that protect both wildlife and human lives in the region.
