A viral 17‑second video posted by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan shows a leopard rummaging through a pile of trash near Mount Abu in Rajasthan, highlighting the distressing impact of human waste on wildlife. The big cat—normally a stealthy apex predator—can be seen digging in plastic and spoiled food, clearly driven into desperation. Kaswan captioned the post, “What a sad visual… See how our trash is reaching the wild! Let’s be better, protect forests, manage waste, and give the wild its home back.” Social‑media users responded with outrage over habitat encroachment and called for stronger anti‑litter enforcement and better forest‑waste management.
