    Trichotaxonomy of tiger prey from Terai Arc landscape, India: A comprehensive manual
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) Kumar, Shrewshree; Biswas, Suvankar; Pandav, Bivash; Mondal, Samrat
    This manual deals with the systematic protocol in identification of prey species from the feces of tiger collected across the Indian part of the Terai-Arc landscape, using morphological techniques. It presents the microphotographs of the undigested hair of various prey species in different resolution for easy and unambiguous identification for other researchers working in this field.

    Tracking the nearshore and migratory movement of Olive Ridley sea turtles occurring in the coastal waters of Maharashtra
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) Mudliar, Mohit M.; Kumar, R. Suresh
    This tracking study has been successful in creating awareness about olive ridley sea turtles through extensive media coverage on tagging and movement updates. Even with a small number of tagged turtles, it also provided crucial information on the movement and diving ecology of this lesser-studied population. Most importantly, the patterns of movement from this study suggests that turtles nesting on the Maharashtra coast comprise two foraging populations. Firstly, those that are resident to the Arabian Sea and the others from the Sri Lankan waters or from the Bay of Bengal. Further tracking efforts are recommended where the turtles are tagged early in the nesting season to understand their inter-rookery movements and find nesting frequencies per season. More tracking efforts from Maharashtra and elsewhere along the West coast of India are suggested to be taken up. This will help understand how the turtles from different nesting areas move and forage. Moreover, this will help identify the overlap between fishing zones and critical breeding and foraging areas along the West Coast to better manage and conserve the species through appropriate interventions.

    Cheetah landscape in India
    (NTCA and Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) Cheetah landscape in India : Atlas of Kuno-Gandhi Sagar Landscape for Metapopulation management of Cheetah in India; Qureshi, Qamar; Bipin, C.M.; Rautela, Nupor; Jain, Dhruv; Habib, Bilal; Sharma, Uttam K.; Bhardwaj, G.S.; Mallick, Amit; Yadav, S.P.; Gopal, Rajesh; Shrivastav, Aseem; Sen, Subharanjan; Krishnamoorthy, L.; Gupta, Rajesh; Upadhyay, Pawan K.; Tiwari, Virendra R.
    Based on data collected during the All India Tiger estimation conducted in 2022 information on human disturbances and the presence of invasive species in the forest divisions and protected areas were collated for the landscape along with the human footprint index and mapped to identify the areas that require management as well as planning for prioritizing actions.

    Assessing the physiological stress in gaur (Bos gaurus gaurus) during translocation: Final Project Report.
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) Farooqui, H.N.; Rajput, N.,; Jawre, S.; Vishwakarma, R.; Bhandari, B.; Habib, B,; Krishnamoorthy, L.; Dubey, A.; Om, H.; Sengar, A.; Nigam, Parag
    To assess the impact of capture and translocation on animals, it becomes imperative to study the associated risks and possible negative effects, if any. These effects can be determined by evaluating physical, physiological and behavioural effects on animals at the time of capture,

    Revival of Gaur in Sanjay Tiger Reserve Madhya Pradesh
    (Wildlife Institute of India, 2024) Nigam, Parag
    Reintroductions/ conservation translocations of animals have increasingly been recognized as a strategy to conserve threatened species and restore ecosystem functions. Madhya Pradesh Forest department (MPFD) together with the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) initiated the project on Gaur Reintroduction titled "Establishment of Gaur (Bos gaurus gaurus) in Sanjay Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh" for a period of five years (2023-2028). This initiative is aimed at conserving this threatened species and restoring biodiversity in the landscape. Emphasizing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, this reintroduction program involved collaboration between various stakeholders and institutions aimed at ensuring a scientifically sound and logistically feasible program. An action plan for reintroduction of Gaur in Sanjay-Dubri Tiger Reserve (SDTR) was jointly developed by the MPFD and WII and formed the basis for field capture and translocation under the project. The program was meticulously divided into pre-translocation, translocation and post-translocation phases.
