Subject: Study on health status of Manipur brow-antlered deer Rucervus eldii eldii (M'clelland, 1842) under conservation breeding progrmme in national zoological park, Delhi, India
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

Subject: Manipur brow-antlered deer: issues for species survival
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 remote and rugged Spiti in Trans-Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh is a fascinating landscape of the country with unique biodiversity, culture and high value for ecosystem services. A world where wildlife and human co-exist in relative harmony. This valley is neatly tucked away from the eyes of the world, where God and people live together with their culture, tradition and sprituality.In my decade long tenure in Spiti, I monitored wild ungulate population. This is an important object as they determine the large carnivore densities and play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem.

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.

Keywords: Dusky eagle owl, Rescue, Balukhand-Konark Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha, India
Abstract: Owls are the most beneficial bird species and the friends of the farmers as they provide the benefit by feeding on small mammals. India is home to 30 species of owls and Odisha holds 12 species. Out of them 15 owl species have been recorded as owl trade. An adult Dusky Eagle Owl (Bubo coromandus) was rescued on 1st July 2018 near Nuanai Rive adjacent to Balukhand-Konark Wildlife Sanctuary 300 mts from residential village area "Beldala". After the primary treatment it was released to its natural habitat on 8th July 2018.Ther have been few scientific studies in Odisha, in fact no scientific studies have been conducted in Balukhand-Konark Wildlife Sanctuary (BKWs). Hence future studies required to explore the occurrence, distribution and habitat utilization of Owl species in that area.

Keywords: River Mahanadi,Nesting,Martins, River Lapwing,First nesting and sighting records
Abstract: The state of Chattisgarh, owing to its Diverse Biodiversity, attracts good number and variety of avian species, which include both resident and migratory. Though most of the common resident species nest here but some species have gone unnoticed and have not been documented. The persistent field visits and study of avifauna has revealed some interesting nesting species in the state. River Mahanadi which has always been a good site for the study and has old important historical records, was visited almost regularly over the past several years. The study has revealed presence of nine threatened species as classified by IUCN. Nesting by the Blue-tailed Bee-eater Small Pratincole and possible nesting of Oriental Pratin code was recorded in 2017-18.In year 2019-20, we found mixed nesting colony of Sand Martin, Grey-throated Martin, at the same site and River Lapwing 40 km downstream. Their nesting has not been reported from the state earlier and thus these are the first records from Chattisgarh.

Abstract: The Kachchh Bustard Sanctuary (KBS) is the only habitat left in Gujarat that is sustaining all the three important bustards of the region especially the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) with a population of 40+ birds. The unique ecosystem of grasslands with shrubs, insects, raptors and reptiles forms the sufficient food and prey base for these endangered species. The only problem is the biotic interference by over grazing and efforts to increase the area for cash crops in zone of influence. The management has to take steps for enlarging the area under sanctuary and controlling the biotic interference through all the tools of wildlife management.

Keywords: HAangul ,Cervus hanglu hanglu,Tarim red deer, Dachigam, Kashmir, Heterozygosity
Abstract: The Kashmir deer or Hangul (Cervus hanglu hanglu), earlier considered a subspecies of European Red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a part of Tarim red deer (Cervus hanglu) and listed under the critically endangered threat category by IUCN. The Hangul deer being endemic to Kashmir had been distributed widely in Kashmir mountains along Greater Himalayas Zanskar Mountain range. The deer is now globally restricted to 141 km2 Dachigam national park and adjoining landscape with a current population of around 150-200 individuals only. The deer population growth has remained almost static for the last many decades. Our studies on current Hangul population trends have indicated that apart from poaching and habitat fragmentation and degradation owing to the large scale biotic references in its habitat skewed female biased sex ratio, low breeding and fawn survival and recruitment of fawns to adulthood, decrease in genetic heterozygosity over time and resultant susceptibility to inbreeding depression resulting from ow population size are some of the major ecological issues concerning the decline in the population and long term survival of the Hangul. We recommend several management interventions to arrest the decline Hangul population for its long-term conservation planning.
