Wildlife conservationist Trikal Chakraborty and team rescue highly venomous banded Krait in Srikona

In a recent daring rescue operation led by wildlife conservationist Trikal Chakraborty and the Barak Valley Wildlife Division team, a highly venomous banded krait was successfully rescued from a residential area in Srikona.

The snake, known for its defensive nature, had caused anxiety among locals who feared for their safety. Mistaken for a two-headed snake, the banded krait was carefully handled by Chakraborty and his team, who swiftly relocated it to its natural habitat in a dense forest to ensure both the safety of the community and the well-being of the reptile.

The rescue operation highlighted the importance of public awareness and cooperation in wildlife conservation efforts. Chakraborty emphasized the need for immediate action when encountering animals out of their natural habitat, urging individuals to contact wildlife rescuers or the District Wildlife Division to prevent potential dangers. Through education initiatives, locals were informed about the banded krait's characteristics, including its highly venomous nature and defensive behaviors, helping to dispel misconceptions and promote coexistence with these vital species.

The successful outcome of the rescue operation underscored the expertise and dedication of wildlife conservationists like Trikal Chakraborty and the collaborative efforts of local communities and wildlife authorities in safeguarding both human and animal welfare. By prioritizing swift intervention and public awareness, such initiatives contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the protection of vulnerable species like the banded krait, ensuring a harmonious balance between humans and wildlife in shared environments.
