Additionally railway infrastructure can act as a barrier restricting wildlife movement and leading to habitat fragmentation. To address the issue of wildlife fatalities resulting from train collision, the MoEFCC with the WII and the Ministry of railways had initially identified 110 sensitive railway stretches across the elephant distribution range in India with 17 additional sensitive stretches identified in two Indian tiger range states.Item Suggested Measures to Mitigate Asian Elephant - Train Collisions on Vulnerable Railway Stretches in the state of Karnataka(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) PE-MoEFCC-WIIItem Suggested Measures to Mitigate Asian Elephant - Train Collisions on Vulnerable Railway Stretches in the state of Odisha(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) PE-MoEFCC-WIIItem Suggested measures to mitigate Asian elephant - Train collisions on vulnerable railway stretches in the state of Tamilnadu(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) PE-MoEFCC-WIIItem Suggested Measures to Mitigate Asian Elephant - Train Collisions on Vulnerable Railway Stretches in the state of Madhya Pradesh(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) PE-MoEFCC-WIIItem Suggested Measures to Mitigate Asian Elephant - Train Collisions on Vulnerable Railway Stretches in the state of Nagaland(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2024) PE-MoEFCC-WIIItem Elephant - human conflict in the state of Jharkhand, India (2000-2003) : trends, challenges and insights(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2025) Habib, Bilal; Pandey, R.; Nath, A.; Nigam, P.; Ganesan, A.; Roy, K.; Datta, A.Item Patterns of Mortality in Free Ranging Tigers(Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2016) Nigam, Parag; Muliya, S.K.; Srivastav, A.; Malik, P.K.; Shrivastava, A.B.; Mathur, V.C.This study initiated an effort to maintain a centralized database of all tiger mortality events that are reported in India to address this shortcoming.
