A Combination of Cultural Values and Economic Benefits Promote Tolerance Towards Large Mammals in a Hotspot of Human-Wildlife Conflicts in Eastern India
Diet Overlap Between Livestock and Wild Herbivores in the Greater Himalaya
Understanding the niche usage and dietary habits of wild ungulate populations is crucial to monitoring their response to livestock grazing and changes in habitat quality. Livestock grazing is common throughout the Himalaya and may reduce available forage for wild ungulates, but few studies have assessed the impact of livestock grazing on the diets of wild herbivores in the Greater Himalaya. We assessed forage availability and used microhistologic…
Avoidance or Coexistence? The Spatiotemporal Patterns of Wild Mammals in a Human-dominated Landscape in the Western Himalaya
Human–wildlife interfaces are increasing rapidly due to the disproportionate growth of human and wildlife populations in a spatial context. The Himalayan system, a global biodiversity hotspot, is subject to landscape modification from various anthropogenic activities. In this study, we offer insights into the human–wildlife interface, reflecting avoidance or coexistence, with implications for local and landscape management strategies. We investig…
Past records and current distribution of seabirds at Larsemann Hills and Schirmacher Oasis, east Antarctica
Seabird populations in Antarctica serve as indicators to assess the impacts of global environmental change. Ecological data on seabirds in Antarctica are scarce due to limited knowledge on their distribution and abundance in most parts of the continent. In this study, we investigated the status of seabird species around the Indian research stations Bharati at Larsemann Hills, Prydz bay and Maitri at Schirmacher Oasis, central Dronning Maud Land l…
Snow leopard stewardship in mitigating human–wildlife conflict in Hemis National Park, Ladakh, India
Among large predators, snow leopards (Panthera uncia) and co-predators (e.g., wolves Canis lupus, lynx Lynx lynx) often cause economic losses, engendering animosity from local communities in the mo
Developing a Monitoring Programme for Mammals in Himalayan Protected Areas
We tested the applicability of wildlife field techniques such as trail monitoring, scan counts, camera trapping and dung counts in Khangchendzonga National Park (NP) and Biosphere Reserve (BR) in Sikkim, India, during 2008-2012 to develop appropriate monitoring programmes for mammals. In total, 42 species of mammals were confirmed in the Khangchendzonga NP and BR out of which 40 species were confirmed through visual encounters, photo-captures and…
Natural Resource Use by Humans and Response of Wild Ungulates
We investigated the levels of natural resource use by humans and the consequent response of wild mountain ungulates in the subalpine and alpine habitats of Bedini-Ali, located in the transition zone of the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, India, from 2005 to 2006. The livestock population in the area, livestock dung density, and the number of trees cut, lopped, and debarked by humans were estimated from permanent plots (n = 312, 8 visits) laid along…
