Myvets Trust inventions have got noticed in International media for the smart use of wildlife-human conflicts mitigation.
In the earlier Chapter, PROJECTS OF MYVETS, We talked about the sectors and countries MYVETS work in and the List of our projects and wildlife conservation work: by MYVETS.
In this Chapter, we are going to discuss the innovative wildlife technologies developed and used by MYVETS in order to protect and conserve the wildlife with smart inventions which will reduce the response time during the Wildlife-Human Conflicts and aims to provide protection to forest frontiers working in protected areas in India.
1. WILDLIFE RESCUE AMBULANCE
A technology-led innovation and philanthropy work by TATA TRUSTS & MYVETS TRUST for Leopard – Human Conflicts Mitigation, in INDIA
World’s first smart “Wildlife Rescue Ambulance” for Leopard – Human Conflicts Mitigation in India was conceptualized by Dr. Madhurita & Dr. Yuvraj; they invented and innovated it under MYVETS TRUST in collaboration & financial support from SIR DORABJI TATA TRUST (TATA TRUSTS).
This is a technologically advanced solution to rescue the Leopards during the conflicts and comes with:
Horizontal Squeeze Operation Theatre.
Hydraulic System to prevent Manual Lifting of Wildlife
Safe release of Big Cats during the release
Public Addressable System to address and manage the gathered crowd.
“Forest Guards were facing problems during rescue, release and accidental cases of wildlife, to prevent casualties and traditional approach we designed this Wildlife Rescue Ambulance which will require less man power and aims on zero casualty.”
2. WILDLIFE RESCUE BIKE
Low-cost innovation for Safety of Indian forest guards.
The World’s first “WILDLIFE RESCUE BIKE” was invented by Myvets Trust with a mission to safeguard & equip the rescuer during Leopard Rescue Operations & conflicts as India stands number one in maximum deaths of the forest guards during the Leopard – Human Conflicts, the Wildlife Rescue Bike comes with 360 degrees panoramic view to tranquilize the leopard from all the angles and will provide protection to the forest frontiers during the Leopard Rescue Operation.
It aims towards the zero causality of forest guards and wildlife during Leopard-Human Conflicts Mitigation.

3. MARINE SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION & RESEARCH CENTRE
“MARINE SEA TURTLE CONSERVATION & RESEARCH CENTRE” IS ESTABLISHED UNDER MYVETS TRUST.
The objectives are to improve and reduce the negative impact created by the lack of awareness in the care of these marine species and the environment that surrounds them, in the same way, to encourage social responsibility.
The protection of this species is of utmost importance, because of its role in the ecosystem. For our organization, it is one of the main objectives, which we try to encourage through the participation of volunteers, the local communities, in addition to building in nest protection, nurturing nesting beaches and raising awareness of populations with that we collaborate.
PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
WE ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE LIFTING AND TRANSLOCATION OF DEAD MARINE MAMMALS WHICH POSES AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT NEAR THE BEACHES WHERE THEY ARE BURIED.
RESEARCH GOAL WE CONDUCTED THE STUDY TO LEARN THE BIOLOGY OF THE MARINE MAMMALS: HUMPBACK DOLPHIN: BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN) TO KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE STRANDING AND DEATHS IN MUMBAI COASTLINE IN CORRELATION WITH THE LUNAR EFFECT AND TO RULE OUT THE ANTHROPOGENIC EFFECT ON THE RECENT MORTALITY OF MARINE MAMMALS. THE STUDY HELPED US TO DEVELOP SUITABLE STRATEGIES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF MARINE MAMMALS IN INDIA.
