Banke National Park and National Trust for Nature Conservation, Bardia Conservation Program. I Mammals of Banke National Park and Buffer Zone Foreword Banke National Park (BaNP) was established in 2010 AD as a gift to the earth. BaNP has the historical significance of harboring great biodiversity. The Park makes the trans-boundary linkage with the Suhelwa Wildlife Sanctuary in India through Kamdi Forest Corridor and Rapti River Corridor. In addition, the park is linked with Bardia National Park towards West. It is thus well recognized as one of the priority tiger conservation landscapes. As stated by the Banke National Park and Buffer Zone Management Plan (2018 – 2022), a total of 34 mammal species are reported from the park. After the establishment of the park, regular monitoring of tigers and prey base are being carried out through camera trapping survey. The survey showed a rise in tiger population over the years. Recent monitoring results of 2018 reported a total of 21 breeding individual tigers indicating good efforts for tiger conservation in a newly declared protected area within a short span of time. Likewise, out of 34 species mammals reported from the park, 32 species were captured during camera trapping survey. This publication consists of repeatedly observed mammal species of BaNP based on camera trapping survey conducted in BaNP and associated landscapes. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the individuals and organizations for their support. Uba Raj Regmi Chief Conservation Officer, Banke National Park Mammals of Banke National Park and Buffer Zone II Acknowledgement This publication is a result of sincere contributions from a number of wildlife experts and technicians. My sincere thank goes to the Government of Nepal, Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC), Banke National Park (BaNP), National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC), WWF Nepal and ZSL Nepal. The work has not been completed without the proper guidance and support from many individuals viz. Dr Naresh Subedi (Conservation Program Manager of NTNC), Asst.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome. Keywords: conservation status, Critically Endangered, Data Deficient, Endangered, Extinct, global threat listing, Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable Introduction dae (skunks and stink-badgers; 12), Mustelidae (weasels, martens, otters, badgers and allies; 59), Nandiniidae (African Palm-civet The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the most authorita- Nandinia binotata; one), Prionodontidae ([Asian] linsangs; two), tive resource currently available on the conservation status of the Procyonidae (raccoons, coatis and allies; 14), and Viverridae (civ- world’s biodiversity.

  • Small Carnivores of Karnataka: Distribution and Sight Records1
    Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society, 104 (2), May-Aug 2007 155-162 SMALL CARNIVORES OF KARNATAKA SMALL CARNIVORES OF KARNATAKA: DISTRIBUTION AND SIGHT RECORDS1 H.N. KUMARA2,3 AND MEWA SINGH2,4 1Accepted November 2006 2 Biopsychology Laboratory, University of Mysore, Mysore 570 006, Karnataka, India. 3Email: [email protected] 4Email: [email protected] During a study from November 2001 to July 2004 on ecology and status of wild mammals in Karnataka, we sighted 143 animals belonging to 11 species of small carnivores of about 17 species that are expected to occur in the state of Karnataka. The sighted species included Leopard Cat, Rustyspotted Cat, Jungle Cat, Small Indian Civet, Asian Palm Civet, Brown Palm Civet, Common Mongoose, Ruddy Mongoose, Stripe-necked Mongoose and unidentified species of Otters. Malabar Civet, Fishing Cat, Brown Mongoose, Nilgiri Marten, and Ratel were not sighted during this study. The Western Ghats alone account for thirteen species of small carnivores of which six are endemic. The sighting of Rustyspotted Cat is the first report from Karnataka. Habitat loss and hunting are the major threats for the small carnivore survival in nature. The Small Indian Civet is exploited for commercial purpose. Hunting technique varies from guns to specially devised traps, and hunting of all the small carnivore species is common in the State. Key words: Felidae, Viverridae, Herpestidae, Mustelidae, Karnataka, threats INTRODUCTION (Mukherjee 1989; Mudappa 2001; Rajamani et al. 2003; Mukherjee et al. 2004). Other than these studies, most of the Mammals of the families Felidae, Viverridae, information on these animals comes from anecdotes or sight Herpestidae, Mustelidae and Procyonidae are generally records, which no doubt, have significantly contributed in called small carnivores.

  • Pre-COVID Visit to Sri Lanka – Feb 2020
    Pre-COVID visit to Sri Lanka – Feb 2020 Michael Johnson I had the very good luck of having a three-week trip to Sri Lanka in February 2020, squeezed in before COVID shut the world down. Mammals were high on the priority list; however, I must admit birds were a little higher. This is not a blow-by-blow description, rather some thoughts and notes about Sri Lanka as a destination and where we went and what we did. We saw 24 mammal species and 209 bird species. Pre-COVID Sri Lanka was easy to get to with Sri Lanka Airlines offering a daily flight from Melbourne to Colombo. It left about 5pm and arrived at 10pm, local times, with a flight time of about 12 hours. We were a party of three with my wife Sue and our friend Graeme. Accommodation: Sue’s sister had for many years been managing boutique hotels in Sri Lanka and so she was able to arrange some amazing lodgings, otherwise we used standard tourist hotels. Needless to say, accommodation is available for every budget. Getting around: we had a driver and mini van however Sri Lanka is serviced by a comprehensive bus network supplemented by a national rail network. Public transport supplemented by local taxis and tuk-tuks would easily get you anywhere. I would not drive myself. It is not because the traffic was too chaotic, although roads are busy, and nobody drives at all fast. It is because of the extreme curtesy that is required of drivers. Nobody thinks anything of cutting right across oncoming traffic expecting others to give way.
