Conservation breeding of Western tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus) in Himachal Pradesh: Reproductive biology, behaviour and habitat suitability
(Wildlife Institute of India and Wildlife Wing of Himachal Pradesh Forest Department, 2014) Ramesh, K.; Nigam, Parag; Lakshminarasimha, r.; Upadhyay, V.; Bose, S.; Dhiman, S.; Mohan, L.
The study on the captive population was initiated to address various issues faced by the captive population and to develop science-based methods for the management of this species in captivity. The in-situ study aimed at generating information concerning the population status in the wild in the state of Himachal Pradesh, generate distribution maps for the species and identify potential sites for reintroduction. The overall project goals were to assist in the establishment of a “reserve” population of the species in captivity targeted at reintroduction and to map potential habitats where reintroduction can be planned. The specific objectives of the project were to: a) Maintain a studbook with information on genetic and demographic parameters. b) Record breeding chronology and growth pattern. c) Assess nutrition, body condition and stress factors. d) Determine activity budget and vocalizations. e) Carry out field surveys to estimate the population status in wild. f) Undertake Population Viability Analysis to determine suitable founder populations and reintroduction strategy. g) Monitor and study the habitat occupancy, behavior and population growth of released birds.
Recovery of dugongs and their habitats in India: an integrated participatory approach - Annual Progress Report IV (2019-20)

National CAMPA Authority under the aegis of Endangered Species Recovery Program, Dugong Recovery Program was initiated with major objectives to a) Assess dugong population status through advanced census techniques and determine its abundance and distribution, identify critical habitats, classify threats and develop site-specific monitoring plan to reduce poaching and incidental entanglements, b) Characterize the critical dugong habitats, reduce direct and indirect threats, c) Raise awareness on the species and encourage the participation of the local communities; and d) Enhance the capacity of the State Forest Department staff and develop/implement smart patrolling tools to improve protection enforcement; train forest staff and local communities in underwater surveys for long-term habitat monitoring. In the last three years of its implementation, an integrated participatory approach was adopted to ensure recovery of dugong populations and conservation of seagrass their habitat in India.
