The field work, which involves camera trapping, began in early August. Despite challenging weather conditions, the team has been able to identify a resident male leopard and three females in the area. The project is also collecting leopard scat for diet and genetic analysis and documenting other wildcat species and mammal biodiversity in the region.

In addition to the research, the project is focused on awareness and education, particularly for tea estate workers. The team has conducted several awareness programs and distributed a trilingual leaflet on living with wildcats.
