  • REPORT on TRANSBOUNDARY CONSERVATION HOTSPOTS for the CENTRAL ASIAN MAMMALS INITIATIVE (Prepared by the Secretariat)
    CONVENTION ON UNEP/CMS/COP13/Inf.27 MIGRATORY 8 January 2020 SPECIES Original: English 13th MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES Gandhinagar, India, 17 - 22 February 2020 Agenda Item 26.3 REPORT ON TRANSBOUNDARY CONSERVATION HOTSPOTS FOR THE CENTRAL ASIAN MAMMALS INITIATIVE (Prepared by the Secretariat) Summary: This report was developed with funding from the Government of Switzerland within the frame of the Central Asian Mammals Initiative (CAMI) (Doc. 26.3.5) to identify transboundary conservation hotspots and develop recommendations for their conservation. The report builds on existing projects, in particular, the CAMI Linear Infrastructure and Migration Atlas (see Inf.Doc.19) and focusses on the same species and geographical area. The study was discussed during the CAMI Range State Meeting held from 25-28 September 2019 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia where participants reviewed the pre-identified areas. Their comments are incorporated in this report. Participants also provided new information about important transboundary sites from Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan and recommended to send the report for final review to Range States and experts. It was also recommended that the final report covers all CAMI species as adopted at COP13. This report is therefore a final draft with the last step to expand the geographical and species scope and finalize the report to be undertaken after COP13. Mapping Transboundary Conservation Hotspots for the Central Asian Mammals Initiative Photo credit: Viktor Lukarevsky Report – Draft 5 incorporating comments made during the CAMI Range States Meeting on 25-28 September 2019 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The report does not yet consider the Urial, Persian leopard and Gobi bear as CAMI species pending decision at the CMS COP13, as well as the proposed expansion of the geographic and species scope to include the entire CAMI region in this study.

  • Early Survival of Punjab Urial
    394 Early survival of Punjab urial Ghulam Ali Awan, Marco Festa-Bianchet, and Jean-Michel Gaillard Abstract: There is almost no information on age-specific survival of Asiatic ungulates based on mark–recapture studies. Survival of marked Punjab urial (Ovis vignei punjabiensis Lydekker, 1913) aged 0–2 years was studied in the Salt Range, Pakistan, in 2001–2005. Male lambs were heavier than females at birth. The relationship between litter size and birth mass varied among years, with a tendency for twins to be lighter than singletons. Birth mass had a positive but nonsignificant relation with survival to 1 year. Neither sex nor litter size affected survival to 1 year, which averaged 55% (95% CI = 41%–68%). There was no sex effect on survival of yearlings, which averaged 88% (95% CI = 4%–100%). Although sur- vival of lambs and yearlings was similar to that reported for other ungulates, apparent survival of 2- and 3-year-olds was very low at only 47%, possibly because of emigration. Early survival in this protected area is adequate to allow population growth, but more data are required on adult survival. Re´sume´ : En l’absence de suivis par capture–marquage–recapture, il n’y a pratiquement pas d’information disponible sur la variation des taux de survie en fonction de l’aˆge pour les espe`ces d’ongule´s asiatiques. Nous avons e´tudie´ la survie d’urials du Punjab (Ovis vignei punjabiensis Lydekker, 1913) individuellement marque´s entre 0 et 2 ans dans la re´gion de la chaıˆne de Salt, au Pakistan, entre 2001 et 2005.

  • 1. Introduction the Punjab Urial Ovis Vignei Punjabiensis Is Endemic to Northern Punjab, Pakistan, and Is Currently Classified As Endangered by the IUCN
    Survey of the status, distribution and home range requirements of the Punjab Urial 1. Introduction The Punjab urial Ovis vignei punjabiensis is endemic to northern Punjab, Pakistan, and is currently classified as endangered by the IUCN. The distribution of the animal in Pakistan is between the Indus and Jhelum rivers at elevations of 250 -1,500 m primarily in the Kala Chitta and Salt Ranges. The dominant habitat type in the area is dry sub-tropical, semi-evergreen scrub forest. Punjab urial were once present over all northern Punjab Mountains, but in recent decades underwent a severe decline in both range and numbers, disappearing from much of their historic range. The main reasons for the rapid decline in numbers appear to be poaching, the capture of newborn lambs that are kept as pets, fragmentation of home ranges, competition with domestic livestock and habitat disturbance and destruction associated with increasing agriculture, forestry and mining. In addition, infusion of exotic but compatible mouflon sheep genes may have occurred. The recent construction of the M-2 Motorway between Islamabad and Lahore created a substantial barrier to seasonal migrations and to dispersal. The main factors affecting the continued persistence of the wild population are inadequate protection against poaching and habitat loss. Initial conservation measures should include, increasing the law enforcement capabilities, to incorporate community participation in the management of urial and reduce the number of competing livestock. The present study is also as an attempt to collect basic ecological information on the urial in the Salt Range area. The overall aim of the project is to accurately determine the status and distribution of the Punjab urial throughout its current home range in northern Punjab and to determine what its ideal habitat requirements are.
