Conservation Papers

Abstract: This paper reports the perspectives and perceptions of Jahai indigenous patrollers and key community members towards the Menraq, a tiger conservation patrolling initiative under which they have been employed,...

Abstract: The Global Tiger Recovery Program has identified enhancing prey populations as a crucial component in achieving its target of doubling wild tiger (Panthera tigris) numbers, as prey density is...

Abstract: Wire-snare poaching is increasingly recognized as a major threat to endangered large carnivores in Africa and Asia. However, empirical information on the extent and distribution of snaring remains extremely...

Abstract: Big cats, such as Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) and Amur leopards (P. pardus orientalis), are top predators that have evolved specialized traits for hunting and carnivory (Fernandez Moya...

Abstract: The interconnected forest regions along the lower Tumen River, at the Sino-North Korean border, provide critical habitats and corridors for the critically endangered Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis). In...

Abstract: Polymorphism of nine microsatellite loci in the Sikhote-Alin tiger population was analyzed in the modern and recent historical periods, using blood, excrement, and museum bone samples. Tests for excess...

Abstract: Of all the ways human beings have modified the planet over the last 10,000 years, habitat loss is the most important for other species. To address this most critical...

Abstract: Background. Large carnivores play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Successful conservation initiatives have often led to a huge increase in predators which has often...

Abstract: It is now well established that human-induced species extinctions and habitat degradation are currently occurring at unprecedented rates. To halt and reverse this decline, the international community adopted the...

Abstract: Tigers are a conservation-reliant species, as multiple populations face the risk of local extinction due to poaching arising from the continued demand for their body parts. Preventing tiger poaching...

Abstract: Gaur We assessed habitat occupancy and distribution of the principal tiger (Panthera tigris) ungulate prey species to assess factors affecting their occurrence and their potential contribution to low tiger...

Abstract: Amur tiger The number of Amur tigers living in protected regions is increasing, and China has achieved significant progress in this regard, especially at the Sino‐Russia border region around...

Abstract: Bengal tiger at waterhole The impacts of climate change on species, and assessments of species vulnerability to climate change, have been well documented in the literature. However, translation of...

Abstract: The recovery of wild tigers in India and Nepal is a remarkable conservation achievement, but it sets the stage for increased human–wildlife conflict where parks are limited in size...

Abstract: Traditional hunting methods, despite their simple design pose a serious hazard to wild animals. Keeping in view, the negative impacts of traditional hunting methods including wire snares on the...

Abstract: Background and Research Aims: The conservation of Bengal tigers is a global concern due to their exponential decline in population around the world. In 2010, all Tiger Range Countries...

Abstract: Isolation of wildlife populations represents a key conservation challenge in the twenty-frst century. This may necessitate consideration of translocations to ensure population viability. We investigated the potential population and...

Abstract: Research locations The existence of people living around the buffer zone in recent times has led to negative interactions in the form of conflicts between humans and wild animals,...

Abstract: Large mammals are susceptible to land use and climate change, unless they are safeguarded within large, protected areas. It is crucial to comprehend the effects of these changes on...

Abstract: Conservation practitioners routinely work within complex social-ecological systems to address threats facing biodiversity and to promote positive human-wildlife interactions. Inadequate understanding of the direct and indirect, short- and long-term...

Abstract: The ecosystems of 50,000 years ago were populated with different species of animals that are now extinct species, these extinctions coinciding with the beginning of the migration of people...
