Indian Rock Python Rescues Increase Amid Habitat Loss in Shivalik Foothills
Over 25 Indian Rock Pythons have been rescued in the Shivalik foothills over the past year due to habitat loss from extensive construction of farmhouses, resorts, highways, and residences. These pythons, ranging 12 to 15 feet and weighing up to 70 kg, are increasingly found near human settlements and canals. Classified as endangered under India's Wildlife Protection Act and Near Threatened by the IUCN, their population has declined by 30% from 2010 to 2020. Wildlife experts like Nikhil Senger continue rescue efforts amid rising human-wildlife interactions.
