The state government of Maharashtra is considering sterilizing leopards due to a rise in population and conflicts with humans. The government is preparing a proposal to be sent to the central government for approval. Maharashtra has the third highest population of leopards in India, and forest officials believe the number has significantly increased in recent years. The forest department is also increasing measures to minimize conflicts, such as increasing the number of cages and rescue vehicles. Gujarat has also requested permission for leopard sterilization. | Mumbai news
