On April 1st, Uchuu Trust had the privilege of conducting an insightful and engaging wildlife and snake awareness session at Dandatheertha English Medium School, Kaup. This initiative was part of our ongoing efforts to educate young minds about the significance of coexistence, snake safety, and wildlife conservation.
It was a moment of immense honor and joy to be recognized by the esteemed Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swamiji of the Pejawara Math, Udupi. During the meeting, I had the privilege of sharing insights about the work undertaken by Uchuu Trust (Udupi_Snakeinthecity) and the dedication we pour into our mission of wildlife conservation and snake rescue.
UCHUU TRUST’s exemplary wildlife rescue efforts were recently highlighted in Udayavani, showcasing their commitment to conservation. The team rescued a severely injured python, promptly providing medical care in collaboration with a skilled veterinary team. The python underwent surgery and was successfully rehabilitated, culminating in its safe release back into the wild.
In the heart of Karnataka's lush Udupi Range, where the Western Ghats' rich biodiversity thrives, one individual stands out as a true protector of wildlife. Recently, the Forest Department of Udupi Range felicitated AKSHAY N SHET ( Founder and Lead Rescuer of UCHUU TRUST ) for their relentless efforts in rescuing snakes and other wildlife from dangerous situations, ensuring their safe return to their natural habitats.
Udupi: A python that was severely injured after coming in contact with a grass-cutting blade was rescued, treated, and successfully released back into the wild recently. Akshay N Shet, wildlife rescuer and founder of Uchuu Trust (Udupi Snake In The City), discovered the adult python, weighing approximately 32kg, with multiple deep wounds.
Mangaluru/ Udupi: Diverse wildlife rescues have kept veterinarian Dr Yashaswi Naravi of the Chitte Pili Rescue Centre and his team busy recently. From a leopard caught in a fence wire to python eggs found near human habitation, there has been a rise in rescue cases, including birds and civet cats. Dr Yashaswi has treated several animals that various rescuers in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts rescued. During a cleanup drive by the Vana Charitable Trust, python eggs were found near AJ Hospital near the highway. These eggs were artificially incubated, resulting in the recent release of nine pythons into the wild. Surprisingly, the eggs were discovered very close to human habitation, he said. “We have been receiving several rescue cases related to birds and civet cats,” Dr Yashaswi said. A young crested goshawk, found by Akshay N Shet of Udupi Snake in the City rescue team, was hand-raised and released about two days ago, once it could hunt on its own. A woodpecker that was rescued by Animal Care Trust was hand-raised and released recently, he added. Currently, a civet cat brought by animal rescuer Vignesh from Kotekar is under rehabilitation. “It was just a day old when it arrived at the rescue centre about two months ago. It has recently started eating on its own but is not yet ready for release. The rehabilitation may take another three months at least,” Dr Yashaswi explained. Earlier in the week, a mouse deer hit by a train near BC Road was brought in for treatment to the rescue centre. However, it succumbed to its injuries on Saturday. Male leopard trapped in fence rescued A team of forest department officials rescued a male leopard trapped in a fence wire at a govt property in the Hebri-Perdoor area on Saturday. Hebri range RFO Siddeshwar Kumbar said that the leopard, aged around 4-5 years, was found to be healthy. “We received the information in the afternoon,” he said. Veterinarian Dr Yashaswi Naravi treated the leopard, which was subsequently released back into the wild once it was fit. Dr Yashaswi said that the leopard had no major injuries and was darted around 5.30pm to remove the wire that was stuck around its abdomen.
