By Abarta Pandey Senior Programme Development Specialist, ZSL Nepal Parsa National Park is a key conservation landscape linking Nepal’s Chitwan National Park (CNP) and via CNP India’s Valmiki Tiger Reserve,...
Abstract: Population density is a valuable metric used to manage wildlife populations. In the Russian Far East, managers use the FormozovMalyushev-Pereleshin (FMP) snow tracking method to estimate densities of ungulates...
This footage captures a wild Siberian tiger in Changbaishan Biosphere Reserve, in the southeastern part of Jilin Province, China, on 3 December 2024. The discovery is proof that wild Siberian...
Abstract: Inbreeding increases genome homozygosity within populations, which can exacerbate inbreeding depression by exposing homozygous deleterious alleles that are responsible for declines in fitness traits. In small populations, genetic purging...
In early August 2024, Indonesia introduced transformative changes to its conservation laws, signalling a bold step forward in the battle against illegal wildlife trade (IWT). The new Law No. 32/2024...

Abstract: Human fatalities and injury from wildlife attacks often result in a negative attitude toward conservation. This research was undertaken to investigate the patterns and conflict-causing factors of human killing...
Abstract: Examining the distribution patterns of sympatric large carnivores provides critical insights into the roles of prey availability and human disturbances in shaping the landscape use of these key predators....
Abstract: Human wildlife gap has shrunk due to urbanization and agricultural expansion. Domestic animals and wild mammals are pushed closer together, enabling disease transmission between the two groups. Recent discovery...
Abstract: The identification and implementation of conflict reduction measures are necessary to reduce predator attacks on people and livestock and to minimize human encroachment into predator habitats. We identified potential...
Human-tiger conflict in Russia’s Far East has persisted since the 19th century, with modern issues driven by habitat loss and urbanisation. Amur tigers are now frequently sighted near roads, attacking...
