  • 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.

  • First Verifiable Record of Spotted Linsang Prionodon Pardicolor from Nepal Since the Nineteenth Century
    Spotted Linsang in Nepal ORIGINAL ARTICLE First verifiable record of Spotted Linsang Prionodon pardicolor from Nepal since the nineteenth century Yadav GHIMIREY1*, Kaushal YADAV1, Jeevan RAI1, Raj PRASAI1, Prabal RANA1 and Raju ACHARYA1 1. Friends of Nature, PO Box 23491, Abstract. Kathmandu, Nepal. Spotted Linsang Prionodon pardicolor has been rarely recorded in Nepal except for Correspondence: Hodgson’s collection in the 19th century and several sighting records in Chitwan National Park during the late 1970s and 1980s. A camera-trap record in Annapurna Yadav Ghimirey Conservation Area during a Mainland Clouded Leopard Neofelis nebulosa survey in [email protected] January 2017, constitutes the first verifiable evidence of the species in the country since the nineteenth century. This authenticates the westernmost known limit of its current global distribution. Associate editor: Daniel Willcox Keywords: Hodgson, montane forest, camera -trap, small carnivore, first recent record, range clarification. http://www.smallcarnivoreconservation.org ISSN 1019-5041 Spotted Linsang Prionodon pardicolor is found in the forests of South and South-east Asia and southern China in a wide variety of forest habitats and, sometimes, dense grasslands (Prater 1971, Sunquist 1982, Jennings & Veron 2015). Previously the species was proposed to be rare (Schreiber et al. 1989) but with the advent of modern survey equipment like camera traps, it is in at least some of its range recorded more regularly (e.g. Zhang et al. 1997, Than Zaw et al. 2008, Lau et al. 2010). Hence it is categorized as Least Concern by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Duckworth et al. 2016); the species is however classified as nationally endangered in Nepal (Jnawali et al.

    DISTRIBUTION AND CONSERVATION THREATS OF BHUTAN TAKIN IN WANGCHUCK CENTENNIAL NATIONAL PARK BUMTHANG Wangchuck Centennial National Park Department of Forests and Park Services 2016 Distribution and conservation threats of Bhutan Takin in Wangchuck Centennial National Park Bumthang Report by Wangchuck Centennial National Park 2016 iii Foreword Wangchuck Centennial National Park covering an area of 4914 km2 in the north-central region of the country extends from cool broadleaf forest to alpine meadows, spanning an altitude range over 2500m to above 500m. The park is home to rich floral and faunal diversity comprising over 693 species of vascular plants, 43 mammals, 250 bird species and more than 156 species of butterflies. Among the mammal species, we have some iconic species which require adequate studies and research for conservation and protection. The presence of Bhutan Takin (Budorcas whitei) was recorded in the park, the detail field study and research to get detail information had been long overdue. Therefore, this first field report with one time data collection is limited in scope to WCNP; however, it will be the baseline information on distribution and conservation threats. This report is published with intention to share information not only to conservationists, but also to general to get overview of Takin conservation in WCNP and the country at large. I believe in strong coordination and partnership between general public, particularly people residing inside protected areas and the protected area management in getting better results from conservation programs. With outmost sincerity and pleasure I am looking forward that this report will provide some information and guidance for further, planning and implementation of conservation program related to Takin.

  • Occurrence and Conservation Status of Small Carnivores in Two Protected Areas in Arunachal Pradesh, North-East India
    Occurrence and conservation status of small carnivores in two protected areas in Arunachal Pradesh, north-east India Aparajita DATTA, Rohit NANIWADEKAR and M. O. ANAND Abstract The rainforests of north-east India harbour a diverse assemblage of mustelids, viverrids and herpestids, many of which are hunted. Yet, very little information exists on their ecology, distribution, abundance, and conservation status. A camera-trapping survey was carried out in two protected areas (Namdapha National Park and Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary) in Arunachal Pradesh between 2005 and 2007 as part of a wildlife monitoring programme. The two areas are believed to hold 13–15 species of forest-dwelling small carnivores, apart from three otter species. We recorded seven species in 2,240 trap-nights in Namdapha, and four species in 231 trap-nights in Pakke. Direct sightings and indirect evidence confirmed the occurrence of additional small carnivore species apart from those recorded during the camera-trap surveys in both areas. Photo-capture rates of four species recorded were high in Namdapha relative to those in three sites in South-east Asia. Capture rates of the Large Indian Civet Viverra zibetha were relatively high in Namdapha compared with other species, and this species, along with the Yellow-throated Marten Martes flavigula, appears to be common. Species such as the Binturong Arctictis binturong, Spotted Linsang Prionodon pardicolor and Stripe-backed Weasel Mustela strigidorsa were not recorded by camera- traps, although other evidences of their presence were recorded. Incidental or retaliatory hunting was recorded for most species; otters are highly threatened in Namdapha due to considerable hunting for skins which have high market value.
