That is certainly something which needs to be undertaken by every forest reserve so that animals don't stray outside the forest to settlements.

Thanks for the update but I strongly disagree about the implementation of adequate measures and wildlife norms before the leopards and hyenas were introduced in the jhalana forest area. With only 5 feet, partly broken wall, surrounding the area, completely inadequate prey base (most leopards survived feeding on livestock) and lack of water ponds, we cant blame predators roaming outside the confined area.
Moreover its proximity with the human settlements required following more strict measures but the ignorance of government and forest department has been a disappointment. Until recently, as it became a prime focus for government to gain from ever growing tourism industry, that they decided to built a bigger wall.

Thanks for the update Susan, although I strongly disagree about the implementations of wildlife norms and adequate measures by the forest department before introducing leopards and hyenas in Jhalana forest area. With only 4~5 feet, partially broken, wall and no fencing, inadequate prey base (most leopards survived feeding over livestock) and miscalculated count of carnivores, causing range overlapping. All these factors are responsible for a leopard to stray outside the confined area. We cant blame them for following their instincts to stay alive, but these increasing human-wildlife encounters are resulting more grave for leopards than for the already unaware humans.
