Abstract: India has been blessed with a rich biodiversity and is a dwelling for several varieties of birds. Pune is no exception. It has been a home to several native birds as well as several migratory birds that traverse large distances every year to escape the harsh winters back home. Pune has a vast green landscape and many lakes in its vicinity. Several passerine birds, waders and birds of prey adorn the skies of Pune. The advent of Facebook and its birding communities has kindled the interest for birds in several nature lovers as many throng the nearby bird habitats in and around Pune to capture the aerial beauties in their lenses.

Abstract: My journeys as a wildlife photographer started 12yrs back and call it my obsession or passion it has taken me to almost everywhere in India where nature & wildlife could possibly be in abundance. Our country is blessed by mother nature in all terms with bounty full of natural wealth & that is the reason Ecotourism in India is a thriving industry owing to the fact that country has managed to save its resplendent natural beauty .The country has a biological parks, zoological parks, tea plantations, wildlife sanctuaries, mighty mountains and lush green jungles in its kitty and one such forest in Bandhavgarh National Park. Bandhavgarh National Park is in India, located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh. The park derived its name from the most prominent hill of the area which is said to have been given by Lord Ram to his brother Laxman to keep a watch on Lanka.(Bandhav=Brother, Garh=Forte).

Abstract: The fabled jungle of pench tiger reserve was the home to the legendary tigress T15 aka “Collarwali” the record holder for birthing the most number of cubs in the wild. She was born in the year 2005 to a tigress named T7-‘Badi Maa’ in the serene land of Pench .She has been one of the most famous tigress worldwide as she became known after the documentary ‘spy in the jungle’ was shot showing her grow up as an infant to a sub adult. She established her territory in the prime land of Pench and reigned until death. She was in fact the first tiger in Pench tiger reserve which got fitted with a radio collar, thus earning her name ‘Collarwali’.

Abstract: How many wild tigers can India potentially harbour? This is among the most frequently debated questions among tiger conservationists, perhaps only second to the debate over the actual tiger population in India today. As tiger numbers have risen over successive censuses since 2006, the question of India’s ‘tiger carrying capacity’ has elicited sharply contrasting views among tiger biologists, conservationists and forest officers. Out of these differing voices, two dominant-albeit contrasting-narratives have emerged.

Abstract: The author proposes conserving India’s tigers in the landscape by incentivising local villagers as was done under India’s only other All India Project-the Crocodile Project. This will make local villagers see tigers as an asset-a regular source of money. This is preferable to maintaining them in all tiger reserves, at great cost, with all the attendant disadvantages.

Abstract: Presence of wild animals and the “chase “ at royal courts in India as elsewhere have been recorded from time immemorial and we find there testimony in classical Greek and Latin records .Strabo the geographer wrote more than 2000 years ago that Pardalis-Cheetahs-and liontes-lions-walked in royal processions. Claudius Aelianus recorded a century and a half later that Indians brought to their king tame four horned oryxes-four horned antelopes (Tetracerus quadricornis) and pantheras-cheetahs.Amarkosha of C400 CE notes Chitraka as a member of the family of cats. Someshwara III the Chaukya King of Kalyani records among other things, sport at his court in the 12th century in the compendium Manasollasa. There are detailed descriptions of hunting with hounds, fishing, falconry and mrigyavinoda the sport of hunting deer/antelope in it. Several methods of this sport are described by him and one of them is coursing blackbuck with cheetahs-krishnasara (Antilope cervicapra) with chitraka. The Sultans of Delhi as indeed kings elsewhere continued hunting with cheetahs but nowhere did they acquire the high status that they attined at the court of the Great Mughals.

Abstract: In recent days, wild animals in distress or suffering in times of calamity are not treated well. There is a rapid decline in wildlife around the world. Our proposed system tackles the problem by developing a website using a cloud database, it gets the estimated count of animal species in every ex-situ –in captive facilities present in the world, including the count of surplus animals in captive facilities, which can be flashed on the website and the other lifetime care animals shelter can send their request if they need. Also, the wild animals that are in distress, including injured, orphaned, abandoned, having unusual population dynamics in an area, psychological stress, suffereing from extreme weather conditions, o those who have come across natural disasters like flood , earthquakes, etc. can be given to those animal facilities that can take care of it. Adoption of such animals by nature/animal lovers and contribution of money for them can be provided to the organizations who are working for the welfare of the animals in the field. An online portal will ensure safety, and transparency in the system, making it more efficient. Also, it is much required in today’s world as global damage is increasing day by day.

Abstract: Initial information on the status and distribution of birds from the Ladakh landscape was mainly collected by naturalists and travellers between 1919 and the first half of the 20th century. Later, many studies and surveys on the bird community were made by the scientific community to document the status, distribution and gather scientific information from the Ladakh landscape on birds. In present time, substantial scientific information on the bird’s species is available in the form of thesis, project reports and published accounts. However, the available literature pertains to a particular region, hence there is a still a lack of a complete and detailed document on distribution of bird’s species in the Ladakh landscape. However, recent efforts made by national and international organizations on organizing workshops and awareness camps for wildlife enthusiasts increased numerous bird watchers in Ladakh, which help to increase the checklist of bird and few new records from Ladakh landscapes.

Abstract: This study aims to examine the population of the critically endangerd species Houbaropsis bengalensis (Gmelin, 1789) and the disturbances that the specie is currently being exposed to, in Manas National Park in Assam. The grasslands of Manas National Park, once home to the largest population of Bengal Floricans in India, is now undergoing rapid degradation due to natural and anthropogenic activities. Field surveys were carried out during the months of February to April in 2021 to assess Bengal Florican population. The sightings were recorded using handheld GPS. A total 50 males and 17 females were recorded and shows an increasing trend in population. Bengal Floricans considered a flagship species in the conservation of the grassland ecosystem. Being a habitat specialist and highly sensitive to habitat disturbances, it proves to be a good indicator species for studying grassland habitats.

Keywords: General body condition scoring, parasitological analysis, visual health examination
Abstract: This study was conducted on the captive herd of Manipur brow-antlered Deer at national zoological Park, Delhi in order to assess health condition inside their enclosure. The methods employed for this purpose were the visual health examination, general body condition scoring and Endo parasitological analysis. The study was conducted from February 2016 to January 2018 among 53 individuals. Among the various health problems reported through visual examination, injury was recorded as the major health issue, calculated highest percentage in male, female and then in unsexed. Male and female had good condition score in the general body condition scoring index. There occurred no significant differences in the different sampling periods viz. weaning/pre-mating, pre-calving and antler shedding/pre growing phases regarding general body condition scoring. Pooled faecal samples have been collected from the respective enclosures on quarterly basis in order to assess the prevalence of endoprasites. The result has shown no significant prevalence of nematode, cestode and trematode eggs in the faeces of Manipur Brow-antlered Deer. Gap area were identified in the existing management practices with reference to the Central Zoo Authority guidelines and on the basis of this, general recommendations have been drawn for the further development of a sustainable and healthy population of Manipur Brow-antlered Deer in National zoological Park, Delhi, India

Keywords: Rucervus eldii,Sangai,Phumdi,genetic inbreeding, Loktak Ramsar, floating park
Abstract: A last single population (251 heads in 2018) of Manipur Brow-antlered deer or Sangai (Rucervus eldii eldii) resides in the Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP), Manipur over the floating biomass locally called Pumdi in the fringe of Loktak Lake. The species is endangered (IUCN 2019), listed in Schedule I of Indian Wildlife Protection Act 1972 and annexed in Appendix I of CITES. Even though the KLNP is noted as the only floating park in the world, the Sangai in it is losing around. The all-around devastating threats of habitat degradation and fragmentation, poaching, livestock grazing, low breeding and fawn survival, a limitation of genetic diversity, etc. are the major ecological issues leading to the low population and the long-term survival of this endemic species. The park has three ecologically senstitive segments and habitat pereferences of the deer in them are analysed. Despite the greatly endangered status of the Sangai in a very fragile habitat, the species had been poorly studied. Conservation lines needed to practice are also suggested.

Abstract: The Western Himalay, stretching across Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, support a variety of highly biodiverse ecosystems. At its lowest elevations (<700masl) one likely to encounter subtropical evergreen/deciduous forests and Terai grasslands. Travelling up the mountain in the middle elevations (800-3500 masl) one encounters mixed sub-tropical temperate and coniferous forests which give way to Alpine scrub and meadows at the higher elevations (3500-5000masl) (Gairola et al., 2008).

Abstract: "The longer I observed the deer and recorded the full spectrum of their diet, the more I came to realize that the Barasingha depended heavily on a flora of perennial grasses, such as Bothriochloa odorata and Themedda triandra growing in moist forest glades and along shady forest fringes. During the dry season Saccharum spontaneum and Vetiveria zizanoides bordering rocky and sandy stream beds formed the bulk of the food. In scientific jargon one defines such animals as 'stenoecious': species that require very specific nutritional requirements". Claude Martin.
