Bolangir; Much to the delight of wildlife lovers here, leopard  pugmarks in two spots were detected in Bolangir forest by a team of wildlife enthusiasticwhich includes Arindam Parischha, Subhranshu Mishra, Sushant Das and journalist SudhirMishra today morning

This is the pugmark of a male leopard.It is barely 3to 4 days old.From the hind pugmark it is evident that it is well built and  around 6to 7 years old. says Arindam Parischha, lecture in Zoology

 In Bolangir if you talk  about leopard population people would  ordnance factory area Badmal in Bolangir district.But in Bolangir forest there are leopard.We need to protect and  conserve it says Parischha, further.

Besides this we also noticed the footprints of herbivores like deer and others.The presence of herbivores animal like barking deer (locally called KUTURA)) and Leopard, shows the biodiversity of Bolangir forest is good and its needs protection and Conservation says Subhranshu a wildlife enthusiastic

Even as a gate was installed on the forest road to check the further abuse and pollution in the forest,the gate was opened/damaged.


 With gates open it is free for all and animals are grazing inside it and people are taking morning walk thereThis is disturbing. We should protect our biodiversity, wild animals in Bolangir range.While the forest and biodiversity is thriving,this type of interference is very bad and it should be stopped otherwise we have to pay a heavy price in future says  Parischha further. 

 SinceMay  2019  pugmark of leopard has been noticed in different spots of Bolangir forest  including of  a leopard Cub.A detailed study required to understand the flora, fauna and wildlife of Bolangir forest, opines journalist SudhirMishra.

Bolangir forest should be protected and Conservation measures be undertaken for the wildlife here and the detection of pugmark is a good sign,says SushantDas.
