When Vanita Jagdeo Borade was 10 years old, she would spend her holidays playing on her father’s farm in the Naigaon Deshmukh village in the Buldana district of Maharashtra. The fields were next to a forest and Vanita was friends with children of the tribals who worked on the farm and lived nearby.

  मानव व वन्यजीव संघर्ष टाळण्यासाठी प्रतिबंधात्मक उपाय निसर्गसंवर्धनाच्या दिशेने एक सशक्त जनजागृती चळवळ मानव व वन्यजीव यांचे नाते हे संघर्षाचे नसून सहअस्तित्वाचे आहे. मात्र वाढते नागरीकरण, जंगलतोड, औद्योगिकीकरण आणि नैसर्गिक अधिवासांचा होत चाललेला ऱ्हास यांमुळे मानव व वन्यजीव यांच्यातील संघर्ष दिवसेंदिवस तीव्र होत चालला आहे. या संघर्षात केवळ मानवाचेच नव्हे तर अनेक निरपराध वन्यजीवांचेही प्राण धोक्यात येत आहेत. अशा परिस्थितीत संघर्षानंतर उपाययोजना करण्यापेक्षा संघर्ष होऊच नये यासाठी प्रतिबंधात्मक उपाय, अचूक माहिती आणि जनजागृती हेच प्रभावी व शाश्वत साधन ठरू शकतात. या दृष्टीने जगातील प्रथम महिला सर्परक्षक व वन्यजीव संरक्षक, सरीसृपशास्त्रज्ञ, सर्पतज्ज्ञ व सर्पमित्र कु. वनिता जगदेव बोराडे या गेली अनेक दशके सोयरे वनचरे प्रतिष्ठान या संस्थेच्या माध्यमातून महाराष्ट्रात, भारतात तसेच भारताबाहेरही वन्यजीव, निसर्ग आणि पर्यावरण संरक्षण, संवर्धन व संशोधनाचे कार्य अखंडपणे करीत आहेत. मानव–वन्यजीव संघर्ष टाळण्यासाठी प्रतिबंधात्मक उपायांची जनजागृती करणे, सर्पदंश व वन्यजीव हल्ल्यांवरील प्रथमोपचारा...

सर्पमित्र वनिता बोराडे करणार सर्पदंशमृत्यूचे भय जगातून दूर! भारतामध्ये दरवर्षी अडीच लाख ते साडे सात लाख लोक (2.5 ते 7.5 %) केवळ सर्पदंशामुळे मुत्युमुखी पडतात. सापांविषयीची भिती, अंधश्रद्धा, गैरसमजुती तसेच वैज्ञानिक माहितींचा अभाव व उपचार साधन सामुग्रीची अत्यल्पता प्रतिबंधात्मक व प्रथमोपचारात्मक बाबींचा प्रचार प्रसार लोकाभिमुख न झाल्याने हे सर्पदंश मुत्युचे प्रमाण जागतिक तुलनेत भारतात सर्वाधिक आहे. आपल्या देशात जगातील सर्वात जास्त बिनविषारी साप आढळतात. तरी सुद्धा केवळ अज्ञानामुळे व पारंपारिक आणि गावठी उपचारामुळे लोक दवाखान्यात जाऊन वैद्यकिय उपचार घेताना काही प्रमाणातच दिसून येतात. धार्मिक व घरगुती उपचारात अतिविलंब झाल्याने दवाखान्यात दाखल झालेले रुग्ण डॉक्टरांना उपचार करुन वाचविणे शक्य होत नाही. या हतबल परिस्थितीमुळे नुसता साप दिसताक्षणी लोकांना दरदरुन घाम फुटतो आणि प्रचंड भीतीमुळे जिवाचा थरकाप होतो.सुईच्या टोकाप्रमाणे तीक्ष्ण दात आणि पाण्याच्या थेंबाप्रमाणे असणारे विष हे हत्तीसारख्या प्राण्यांचाही तडकाफडकी जीव घेते, तिथे मानवाची काय गोष्ट! विषारी सर्पदंश म्हणजे साक्षात मुत्यू !! यमा...
