Facilitating tiger population recovery through threat mitigation at landscape level in Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, India A recent assessment of tiger populations in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, helped identify new corridors, with tigers presumably dispersing from breeding populations within Nagarjunasagar Srisailam tiger reserve (NSTR) and Gundla Brameshwaram Wildlife Sanctuary (GBM). There is an urgent need to secure newly identified landscapes south of GBM where tigers likely disperse from NSTR and GBM. Therefore, it is essential to identify critical dispersal corridors and intensify tiger monitoring in the new landscapes. The project aims to increase tiger densities at NSTR and ensure survival of tigers in the immediate corridors outside designated tiger reserves. Project objectives are: (1) To identify and map threats to tigers and prey species; (2) Mitigate threats by involving government agencies and local communities in the tiger landscape of the Eastern Ghats; (3) Aid in consolidating tiger habitats within tiger reserves by promoting government schemes; and, (4) Provide scientific and conservation support to the Andhra Pradesh Forest Department.

Conserving the endangered western hoolock gibbon in community-managed forests of Northeast India The endangered western hoolock gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) is threatened by loss of closed-canopy forests, and illegal hunting. In the hill states of Northeast India, the closed-canopy forests that gibbons inhabit is largely under the ownership and management of communities. While there is local conservation interest to secure forests and gibbons, these local initiatives are in need of outside support, largely to address two main threats to gibbons. The first is changing land-use patterns and erosion of traditional practices of conserving village forests are resulting in loss of the species habitat, while the second is that gibbons are being directly impacted by illegal hunting. Project objectives include to: (1) implement conservation initiatives to reduce threats to the western hoolock gibbon in select community-managed forests of Nagaland and Meghalaya; (2) assess the potential for gibbon conservation in community-managed forests of Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi districts, Meghalaya; and, (3) spread awareness of gibbons as a flagship species for closed-canopy forests in Northeast India.

Enhancing elephant conservation in the Trans-boundary Manas Conservation Area (TraMCA): An Indo-Bhutan initiative The Transboundary Manas Conservation Area forms a priority landscape with an area of over 3,000 sq km. It is one of three transboundary landscapes across the Eastern Himalayas that connect Bhutan and Northeast India. The landscape faces growing threats linked to increases human populations and illegal activities, including the porous border between Bhutan and India which facilitates the poaching and trafficking of elephants. Project activities will include: 1) identify transboundary elephant migration routes and patterns; 2) based on elephant landscape usage, identify priority locations for new anti-poaching camps for the use of forest department staff; 3) conduct five joint training programs on elephant population estimations, in for forest department staff of both India and Bhutan; 4) conduct joint surveys on elephant presence/absence across the entire landscape; 5) conduct vegetation transect surveys; 6) organize two workshops with involvement of all stakeholders and local villagers to develop anti-poaching strategies; and 7) using GIS to create a landscape corridor and elephant movement map. This project will enhance transboundary collaboration on elephant conservation and population monitoring between Indian and Bhutanese authorities in the Transboundary Manas Conservation Area of Bhutan and India.
