  • 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).

Definition and Meaning Endangered species can be defined as all those species which are under risk or threat of being extinct. In simple words, species which are about to extinct are called endangered species. These species are likely to become extinct soon either worldwide or in a political jurisdiction. Some of the examples are Greater Horseshoe Bat, Loggerhead turtle, Siberian tiger, White-tailed eagle, and Bluefin tuna etc. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List IUCN is headquartered at Gland in Switzerland. This organization lists the global conservation status of many species. This includes “Data Deficient” (DD) species. Species for which more data and assessment is required before their situation may be determined. Species comprehensively assessed by the IUCN՚s species assessment process. Also, many other organizations like WWF (World Wildlife Fund) assess the status of species within areas.

Ecology & conservation of small carnivores in the Western Ghats: final report submitted to CEPF/ATREE. Centre for Wildlife Studies, Bangalore. Devcharan Jathanna Research Associate Centre for Wildlife Studies 1669, 16th Main, 31st Cross, Banashankari 2nd Stage Bangalore, 560 070, Karnataka Email: [email protected] Centre for Wildlife Studies, Bangalore Supported by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund – ATREE Small Grants Program Page 2 of 36 SUMMARY Despite the important roles small carnivores play in forests, little research or conservation attention has been directed at these species in the Western Ghats, which harbours a rich assemblage. Consequently, little is known about their conservation status, biology, ecological requirements and responses to human activities. This project attempted to address this critical knowledge gap by examining the conservation status, occurrence patterns, threats, space use and other aspects of basic biology of three small carnivore species endemic to the Western Ghats: Nilgiri marten, brown mongoose and stripe-necked mongoose. These aspects were studied using a variety of approaches and techniques including unstructured interview and key informant surveys, encounter rate surveys, scat collection and camera trapping. During the project I also carried out some preliminary work towards later, in-depth field research such as collecting DNA samples from museum specimens,
