Many veterinarian doctors and medical experts in Sikkim are engaged in an endeavour for captive-breeding and prevent various animal species from facing extinction. Recently, Sikkim Anti-Rabies and Animal Health programme (SARAH) in cooperation with the Sikkim Government's department of Animal Husbandry, saved the life of a common Leopard through caesarian operation. It was for the first time that a C- section had been performed on an animal here.
