Conservation Papers

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...

Abstract: Forest corridors in the lowlands of Nepal provide connectivity for endangered Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) between Nepal and India. In recent years, both the Bengal tiger and human...

Abstract: Biodiversity conservation is increasingly being recognized as an important co-benefit in climate change mitigation programmes that use nature-based climate solutions. However, the climate co-benefits of biodiversity conservation interventions, such...

Abstract: Big cats are of paramount importance for the sustenance of ecosystems and their interaction with humans is critical for their conservation. Coexistence and tolerance of the people involved will...

Abstract: Sampling collection locations on forest cover map of Bhutan. Red circles are scat samples confirmed to be of a tiger, while white circles are samples that were not tiger...

Abstract: Countries receiving tiger products from/via Bangladesh from 2016 to 2021. Unsustainable wildlife trade is a major threat to many species, but quantifying trade remains challenging, as seizure data provides...

Adapted from abstract: Wildlife conservation in the Anthropocene requires bold conservation solutions including restoration of ecosystems and species. The recovery of large carnivore populations is a conservation goal which can...

Tigers play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Unfortunately, tigers are threatened by poaching, human–wildlife conflict, habitat loss, and more. In response to these threats, the conservation community pledged...

The Amur tiger has a status of being endangered on the world’s IUCN red list. The northwestern part of its range is situated in Russia and China, where tigers were...
