Taxon 1.1. Classis: Mammalia 1.2. Ordo: Tylopoda 1.3. Familia: Camelidae 1.4. Genus: Camelus 1.5. Species: Camelus bactrianus Linnaeus, 1758 1.6. Common names: English: Wild or Bactrian camel French: German: Wildkamel Spanish: Russian: Dikiy verblud Chinese: 2. Biological data 2.1. Distribution Wild populations are restricted to 3 small, remnant populations in China and Mongolia:in the Taklamakan Desert, the deserts around Lop Nur, and the area in and around region A of Mongolia’s Great Gobi Strict Protected Area (Reading et al 2000). In addition, there is a small semi-captive herd of wild camels being maintained and bred outside of the Park. 2.2. Population Surveys over the past several decades have suggested a marked decline in wild bactrian camel numbers and reproductive success rates (Zhirnov and Ilyinsky 1986, Anonymous 1988, Tolgat and Schaller 1992, Tolgat 1995). Researchers suggest that fewer than 500 camels remain in Mongolia and that their population appears to be declining (Xiaoming and Schaller 1996). Globally, scientists have recently suggested that less than 900 individuals survive in small portions of Mongolia and China (Tolgat and Schaller 1992, Hare 1997, Tolgat 1995, Xiaoming and Schaller 1996). However, most of the population estimates from both China and Mongolia were made using methods which preclude rigorous population estimation.

  • Bactrian Camel, Two-Humped Camel
    Camelus ferus/bactrianus Common name: Bactrian camel, two-humped camel Local name: Havtagai (Mongolian), Wildkamel (German), Jya nishpa yapung (Ladakhi) Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Camelidae Genus: Camelus Species: ferus/bactrianus Profile: The scientific name of the wild Bactrian camel is Camelus ferus, while the domesticated form is called Camelus bactrianus. The distinctive feature of the animal is that it is two-humped whereas the Dromedary camel has a single hump. DNA tests have revealed that there are two or three distinct genetic differences and about 3% base difference between the wild and domestic populations of Bactrian camels. They also differ physically. The wild Bactrian camel is smaller and slender than the domestic breed. The wild camels have a sandy gray- brown coat while the domestic ones have a dark brown coat. The predominant difference between them however is the shape of the humps. While that of the wild camel are small and pyramid-like, those of the domestic ones are large and irregular. The face of a Bactrian camel is long and triangular with a split upper lip. The Bactrian camel is highly adapted to surviving the cold desert climate. Each foot has an undivided sole with two large toes that can spread wide apart for walking on sand. The ears and nose are lined with hair to protect against sand and the muscular nostrils can be closed during sandstorms. The eyes are protected from sand and debris by a double layer of long eyelashes while bushy eyebrows give protection from the sun. It grows a thick shaggy coat during winter, which is shed very rapidly in spring to give the animal a shorn look.

  • Bantengbanteng Populationpopulation Inin Cambodia:Cambodia: Thethe Establishedestablished Baselinebaseline Densitydensity © FA / WWF-Cambodia
    FACTSHEET 2011 BantengBanteng PopulationPopulation inin Cambodia:Cambodia: TheThe EstablishedEstablished BaselineBaseline DensityDensity © FA / WWF-Cambodia Between 2009-2011 in dry seasons, the research team of WWF-Cambodia conducted the first vigorous surveys on population abundance of large mammals which includes wild cattle, deer, and wild pig in the Eastern Plain Landscape (EPL) of Cambodia covering an area of approximately 6,000km2. Banteng: Globally Endangered Species Banteng (bos javanicus) is a species of wild cattle that historically inhabited deciduous and semi- evergreen forests from Northeast India and Southern Yunnan through mainland Southeast Asia and Peninsular Malaysia to Borneo and Java. Since 1996, banteng has been listed by IUCN as globally endangered on the basis of an inferred decline over the last 30 years of more than 50%. Banteng is most likely the ancestor of Southeast Asia’s domestic cattle and it is considered to be one of the most beautiful and graceful of all wild cattle species. In Cambodia, banteng populations have decreased dramatically since the late 1960s. Poaching to sell the meat and horns as trophies constitutes a major threat to remnant populations even though banteng is legally protected. © FA / WWF-Cambodia Monitoring Banteng Population in the Landscape Knowledge of animal populations is central to understanding their status and to planning their management and conservation. That is why WWF has several research projects in the EPL to gain more information about the biodiversity values of PPWS and MPF. Regular line transect surveys are conducted to collect data on large ungulates like banteng, gaur, and Eld’s deer--all potential prey species for large carnivores including tigers.

  • Damaliscus Pygargus Phillipsi – Blesbok
    Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi – Blesbok colour pattern (Fabricius et al. 1989). Hybridisation between these taxa threatens the genetic integrity of both subspecies (Skinner & Chimimba 2005). Assessment Rationale Listed as Least Concern, as Blesbok are abundant on both formally and privately protected land. We estimate a minimum mature population size of 54,426 individuals (using a 70% mature population structure) across 678 protected areas and wildlife ranches (counts between 2010 and 2016). There are at least an estimated 17,235 animals (counts between 2013 and 2016) on formally Emmanuel Do Linh San protected areas across the country, with the largest subpopulation occurring on Golden Gate Highlands National Park. The population has increased significantly Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern over three generations (1990–2015) in formally protected National Red List status (2004) Least Concern areas across its range and is similarly suspected to have increased on private lands. Apart from hybridisation with Reasons for change No change Bontebok, there are currently no major threats to its long- Global Red List status (2008) Least Concern term survival. Approximately 69% of Blesbok can be considered genetically pure (A. van Wyk & D. Dalton TOPS listing (NEMBA) None unpubl. data), and stricter translocation policies should be CITES listing None established to prevent the mixing of subspecies. Overall, this subspecies could become a keystone in the Endemic Yes sustainable wildlife economy. The common name, Blesbok, originates from ‘Bles’, the Afrikaans word for a ‘blaze’, which Distribution symbolises the white facial marking running down Historically, the Blesbok ranged across the Highveld from the animal’s horns to its nose, broken only grasslands of the Free State and Gauteng provinces, by the brown band above the eyes (Skinner & extending into northwestern KwaZulu-Natal, and through Chimimba 2005).

  • The Eastern Cape –
    The Eastern Cape – Revisited By Jeff Belongia A return to South Africa’s Eastern Cape was inevitable – the idea already firmly planted in my mind since my first visit in 1985. Africa, in general, has a wonderful yet strange control over the soul, and many writers have tried to express the reasoning behind it. I note this captivation and recognize the allure, and am too weak to resist. For me, Africa is what dreams are made of – and I dream of it daily. Dr. Martin Luther King was wise when he chose the phrase, “I have a dream.” He could have said, “I have a strategic plan.” Not quite the same effect! People follow their dreams. As parents we should spend more time teaching our children to dream, and to dream big. There is no Standard Operating Procedure to get through the tough times in life. Strength and discipline are measured by the depth and breadth of our dreams and not by strategic planning! The Catholic nuns at Saint Peter’s grade school first noted my talents. And they all told me to stop daydreaming. But I’ve never been able to totally conquer that urge – I dream continually of the romance of Africa, including the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape is a special place with a wide variety of antelope – especially those ‘pygmy’ species found nowhere else on the continent: Cape grysbok, blue duiker, Vaal rhebok, steenbok, grey duiker, suni, and oribi. Still not impressed? Add Cape bushbuck, mountain reedbuck, blesbok, nyala, bontebok, three colour phases of the Cape springbok, and great hunting for small cats such as caracal and serval.

Many of the Roan Antelope in South Africa are H. e. cottoni or equinus x cottoni (especially on private properties). Assessment Rationale This charismatic antelope exists at low density within the assessment region, occurring in savannah woodlands and grasslands. Currently (2013–2014), there are an observed 333 individuals (210–233 mature) existing on nine formally protected areas within the natural distribution range. Adding privately protected subpopulations and an Cliff & Suretha Dorse estimated 0.8–5% of individuals on wildlife ranches that may be considered wild and free-roaming, yields a total mature population of 218–294 individuals.

  • Species of the Day: Banteng
    Images © Brent Huffman / Ultimate Ungulate © Brent Huffman Species of the Day: Banteng The Banteng, Bos javanicus, is listed as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. A species of wild cattle, the Banteng occurs in Southeast Asia from Myanmar to Indonesia, with a large introduced population in northern Australia. The Banteng has been eradicated from much of its historical range, and the remaining wild population, estimated at no more than 8,000 individuals, is continuing to decline. Habitat loss Geographical range and hunting present the greatest threats to its survival, with the illegal trade in meat and horns www.iucnredlist.org still being widespread in Southeast Asia. www.asianwildcattle.org Help Save Species Although the Banteng is legally protected across its range and occurs in a number of www.arkive.org protected areas, the natural resources of reserves in Southeast Asia often continue to be exploited. The northern Australian population may offer a conservation alternative, although genetic studies hint that the stock may originate from domesticated Bali cattle. Fortunately, a captive population is maintained worldwide which, if managed effectively and supplemented occasionally, can provide a buffer against total extinction, and offer the potential for future re- introductions into the wild. The production of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is made possible through the IUCN Red List Partnership: Species of the Day IUCN (including the Species Survival Commission), BirdLife is sponsored by International, Conservation International, NatureServe and Zoological Society of London..

  • Connochaetes Gnou – Black Wildebeest
    Connochaetes gnou – Black Wildebeest Blue Wildebeest (C. taurinus) (Grobler et al. 2005 and ongoing work at the University of the Free State and the National Zoological Gardens), which is most likely due to the historic bottlenecks experienced by C. gnou in the late 1800s. The evolution of a distinct southern endemic Black Wildebeest in the Pleistocene was associated with, and possibly driven by, a shift towards a more specialised kind of territorial breeding behaviour, which can only function in open habitat. Thus, the evolution of the Black Wildebeest was directly associated with the emergence of Highveld-type open grasslands in the central interior of South Africa (Ackermann et al. 2010). Andre Botha Assessment Rationale Regional Red List status (2016) Least Concern*† This is an endemic species occurring in open grasslands in the central interior of the assessment region. There are National Red List status (2004) Least Concern at least an estimated 16,260 individuals (counts Reasons for change No change conducted between 2012 and 2015) on protected areas across the Free State, Gauteng, North West, Northern Global Red List status (2008) Least Concern Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal TOPS listing (NEMBA) (2007) Protected (KZN) provinces (mostly within the natural distribution range). This yields a total mature population size of 9,765– CITES listing None 11,382 (using a 60–70% mature population structure). This Endemic Yes is an underestimate as there are many more subpopulations on wildlife ranches for which comprehensive data are *Watch-list Threat †Conservation Dependent unavailable. Most subpopulations in protected areas are stable or increasing.

  • Crop Damage by Overabundant Populations of Nilgai and Blackbuck in Haryana (India) and Its Management
    CROP DAMAGE BY OVERABUNDANT POPULATIONS OF NILGAI AND BLACKBUCK IN HARYANA (INDIA) AND ITS MANAGEMENT N. P. S. CHAUHAN, and RAMVEER SINGH, Wildlife Institute of India, P.O. New Forest, Dehradun-2A8006, India. ABSTRACT: In India, as in other countries, problems associated with locally overabundant wildlife species have emerged as important management ~ues for reason of some species losing their natural habitat but adapting themselves to the man­ altered habitats. Consequently, there is a clash with the interests of local people. Crop-raiding by locally overabundant wild populations of nilgai and blackbuck in Haryana is one such problem analyzed in this paper. Nilgai causes extensive damage to agricultural cro~; among these, gram, wheat seedlings and moong are the most preferred ones. Btackbuck nibble mainly on young shoots of various cereal and pulse cro~ and the damage is much less than caused by nilgai. Possible management strategies such as culling, fencing in nilgai and black buck (enclosures or corrals), and fencing agricultural areas to minimize the problem are suggested. Chain-link fencing of a sizable Reserved Forest (RF) patch, where the animals seek daytime shelter, combined with other local protective methods in the cultivated areas of Nahar hold promise of reducing the pest animal populations. The experiment is likely to establish one approach for dealing with the specific problem in Haryana. This paper discusses agricultural crop-raiding by locally overabundant populations of nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus) and blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) in several districts of Haryana and the possible management strategies that can limit or reduce the conflict. Based on these strategies, a management experiment is being conducted in one of the districts, namely, Nahar, and its results are presented in this paper.
