The destruction of wildlife habitats due to human encroachment, including deforestation, intentional fires, and widespread hunting, is forcing wild animals to seek refuge in urban areas. As a result, many species are now living in fields near human settlements, struggling for survival.

A notable example of this is the sugarcane harvesting season in Satara, which coincides with the breeding season for several wild animals. During this period, newborns of wild animals, including leopards, wild boars, and wild cats, are often found in sugarcane fields.
