In a heart-warming act of compassion that has since gone viral, three tribal women from a Vanasamrakshana Samiti (forest protection committee) in Thiruvananthapuram revived a baby macaque after it was electrocuted near the Kallar Golden Valley forest check-post on Tuesday. The incident unfolded along the Vithura–Ponmudi road when two young monkeys came into contact with a high-tension power line. Without hesitation, Ponmudi Vanasamrakshana Samiti members Udaya, Sachithra and Saugandhika, who are all members of the Kani tribal settlement in Mottamoodu, Vithura, rushed to the scene. After administering basic treatment to the wound, they released the revived monkey back into the wild, a moment that has captured widespread attention and praise. “The members of Vanasamrakshana Samiti are being encouraged to act as true guardians of the forest by upholding compassion for both humans and wildlife.
