ENDANGERED SPECIES There is only three schedule I Species found in buffer zone namely Pavo cristatus (Indian Peafowl), Panthera pardus (Leopard), and Varanus bengalensis (Indian Monitor Lizard). As per the Local DFO Gurgaon, Haryana, the Haryana state bird Francolinus francolinus (Black Francolin) is also been in Schedule I. 1.3 Principles of Wildlife Conservation

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal species and their habitat. Wildlife plays an important role in balancing the ecosystem and provides stability to different natural processes of nature like rainfall (transpiration from plant), changing of temperature (heat evolution by animals), fertility of soil (making of manure by earthworm). The goal of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and also to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness for humans and other species alike. Many nations have government agencies and NGO's dedicated to wildlife conservation, which help to implement policies designed to protect wildlife. Numerous independent non-profit organizations also promote various wildlife conservation causes.

An endangered species is defined as a population of a living species that is in the danger of becoming extinct because the species has a very low or falling population, or because they are threatened by the varying environmental or prepositional parameters like (landslides, increase in temperature above optimum temperature, acid rain). Wildlife is part of nature which maintain equally distribution of food instead of over use of food by one human. Wildlife management is the application of scientific knowledge and technical skills to protect, conserve, limit, enhance, or create wildlife habitat. Wildlife management also includes implementing laws regulating the use, kinds, and amounts of wildlife, people can harvest. Laws that protect existing habitat are also wildlife management tools. 1.4 Decline of Wildlife

Biological evolution on earth is associated with extinction of older species and descent of new species but the disappearance of species from the surface of the earth has speeded up 1000 to 10,000 times as compared to the natural disappearance, due to destructive activities of man. Important reasons for decline of wildlife are:

• Habitat loss and degradation, along with behaviours like overhunting, • Hunting and poaching, • Man- animal conflict, • Pollution 2 Conservation Plan of Peafowl (Pavo cristatus)

Figure 4: Indian Peafowl The Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) has been an integral part of the people of the India and their culture for centuries. From religion and mythology to civilization and socio-culture, the Indian Peafowl occupies an important place in the lives of the people. In addition to this, the Indian Peafowl is well recognized for its ecological and aesthetical values, and hence aptly declared as the 'National Bird' of India in the year 1963. Since the early 1990s, there have been reports of increasing illegal trade in peafowl feathers, large-scale mortalities due to increased use of insecticides/pesticides in agricultural lands, poaching, and retaliatory killings by people due to alleged crop depredation by peafowl. Several peafowl strong hold areas in the country are now concerned about the current declining status. Peacock which is in schedule-I of the wildlife (protection) Act 1972 is reported in the study area. 2.1 Taxonomy of Peafowl

2.4 Habitat

In the undergrowth in deciduous forests near streams tall trees for roosting. Size for the male tail feathers, its coloration and numbers of eyes determine the don menace of the male in peacock hierarchy. The females are believed to be attracted towards the male with longest and most colorful tail feathers. 2.5 Physical Characteristics

The male Indian Peafowl, commonly known as the peacock, is one of the most recognizable birds in the world. The brightly colored Indian peacock birds have a distinctive crest and an unmistaken able ornamental train. The train (1.4-1.6 meters in length) accounts for more than 60% of their total body length (2.3 meters). Combined with a large wingspan (1.4-1.6 meters), this train makes the male peafowl one of the largest flying birds in the world. The train is formed by 100-150 highly specialized upper tail coverts. Each of these feathers sports an eye spot, and has long disintegrated barbs, giving the feathers a loose, fluffy look. When displaying to a female, the peacock bird erects this train into a spectacular fan, presenting the ocelli to their best advantage.

Size of the male tail feathers, its coloration and numbers of eyes presents determine the dominance of the male in peacock hierarchy. The females are believed to be attracted towards the male with longest and most colorful tail feathers (Kushwaha & Kumar, 2016). Table 6: Other characteristics Body length Male 110-230 cm, Female: 85 cm Weight 2750-6000gm Habitat In the undergrowth in deciduous forests near streams and neighborhoods of villages and cultivated country and tall trees for roosting.

2.6 Behaviour

Peafowl are gregarious by nature. In the breeding season they are usually seen in small parties of one male three to five females whereas in the non-breeding season they remain in separate parties of adult males and females with juveniles. Peacock roost in tall trees and emerge from the dense thickets to feed in fields and opening in forests fields. Call: Kee-ow, Kee-ow, Ka-an, Ka-an, Ka-an, Kok-kok, Kok-Kok, cain-kok,may-yow calls at dusk and dawn, also loud nasal calls and cackles, very noisy during the rains, when breeding. Nesting: On tall Trees. Breeding: Peak season in southern India is April to May and June in Northern India. Other habits: Male sheds its colorful tail feathers during winters which grow again till autumn. 2.7 Food Habit

Peacock are ground feeders. Indian peafowl’s do most of their foraging early in the morning and shortly before sunset. They retreat to the shade and security of the trees for the hottest portion of the day. They make a meal of grains, drupes of wild and some cultivated crops. They can also eat insects, small reptiles and small mammals.

2.8 Conservation and relationship with man

The great beauty and popularity of the Indian Peafowl has ensured its protection throughout most of its native ranges. It enjoys the grace of the National Bird od India. The Peafowl is prominent in the mythology and folklore of the Indian people. The Hindus consider the bird to be sacred because of its association with Lord Krishna, who used to wear its feather as crown (Mor Mokut). It is also associated with the God Kartikey, son of the Lord Shiva and Parvati and brother of Lord Ganesha. It is “Vaahan” (transport) of Lord Kartikeya. This long and close association with humans has proven the Peafowl’s adaptability to human altered landscapes. In villages where it is protected, it becomes quite tame, but is very shy and secretive where hunted. Peacock is generally protected by the local people. 2.9 Conservation Measures for Fauna with respect to project proponent

I. Strategy: Will make it an essential component of the project to look after the wellbeing of the animal in its natural habitat.

II. Protection and development of habitat: Will keep vigil on illicit felling and illegal grazing in the nearby area. All other activities which may damage the habitat will be kept on watch.

III. Strategy to enhance food supply: Planting of fruit and berries bearing species in the project area will be carried out. In the core zone, the grain-feeding trays will be provided to get feed along with artificial water body.

IV. Creation of tree groves: It will help the bird provide very good shelter for resting and roosting. The increased number of trees will increase flowering and hence the insects and butterflies which may serve the assured food supply. Plantation will be done with a difference of 100 m from the project boundary. VI. Awareness strategy: It will be ensured through regular awareness programs and through publicity by way of signage’s, posters, bill distributions, public meetings, announcements, student’s awareness sessions etc. with the help of forest department.

Figure 5: Leopard The leopard (Panthera pardus) is an old-world mammal of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four 'big cats' of the genus Panthera, along with the tiger, lion, and jaguar. Leopards that are melanistic, either all-black or very dark in coloration, are known colloquially as Black Panthers. 3.1 Taxonomy

Genus Panthera

Species pardus 3.2 General Description

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is an old-world mammal of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four 'big cats' of the genus Panthera, along with the tiger, lion, and jaguar. Leopards that are melanistic, either all-black or very dark in coloration, are known colloquially as Black Panthers. 3.3 Morphology

Although they are the smallest of the big cat species, leopards are still a powerful force to be reckoned with. In particular, their skulls are notably large and their jaws are so powerful that they can take prey much larger than themselves. Their shoulder muscles are also particularly strong, and give leopards their unique ability to climb trees often whilst carrying remarkably heavy kills. Leopards climb back down from trees headfirst. Their powerful shoulders also help them in the leaping and jumping ability – with a 6m horizontal leap and a 3m vertical jump. Leopards can swim, although not as well as other big cat species such as tigers. Although not known for speed, leopards can run very fast, at over 36 miles per hour. 3.4 Habitat

As of 1996, the leopard had the largest distribution of any wild cat, although populations before and since have shown a declining trend and are fragmented outside of sub-Saharan Africa. On the Indian subcontinent, topographical barriers to the dispersal of this subspecies are the Indus River in the west, and the Himalayas in the north. In the east, the lower course of the Brahmaputra and the Ganges Delta form natural barriers to the distribution of the Indochinese leopard. Indian leopards are distributed all over India, in Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and parts of Pakistan. In the Himalayas they are sympatric with snow leopards up to 5,200 meters (17,100 ft) above sea level. 3.5 Physical Characteristics

In 1794, Friedrich Albrecht Anton Meyer wrote the first description of Felis fusca, in which he accounted of a panther-like cat from Bengal of about 85.5 cm (33.7 in), with strong legs and a long well-formed tail, head as big as a panther’s, broad muzzle, short ears and small, yellowish grey eyes, light grey ocular bulbs. It was black at first sight, but on closer examination dark brown with circular darker coloured spots, tinged pale red underneath.

Its coat is spotted and rosetted on pale yellow to yellowish brown or golden background, except for the melanistic forms; spots fade toward the white underbelly and the insides and lower parts of the legs. Rosettes are most prominent on the back, flanks and hindquarters. The pattern of the rosettes is unique to each individual. Juveniles have woolly fur, and appear dark due to the densely arranged spots. The white-tipped tail is 60–100 centimetres (24–39 in) long, white underneath, and displays rosettes, which form incomplete bands toward the end. The rosettes are larger in other Asiatic leopard populations. Fur colour tends to be paler and cream in arid habitats, more gray in colder climates, and of a darker golden hue in rainforest habitats. Male Indian leopards grow to between 4 ft 2 in (127 cm) and 4 ft 8 in (142 cm) in body size with a 2 ft 6 in (76 cm) to 3 ft (91 cm) long tail and weigh between 110 and 170 lb (50 and 77 kg). Females are smaller, growing to between 3 ft 5 in (104 cm) and 3 ft 10 in (117 cm) in body size with a 2 ft 6 in (76 cm) to 2 ft 10.5 in (87.6 cm) long tail, and weigh between 64 and 75 lb (29 and 34 kg). Sexually dimorphic, males are larger and heavier than females. The largest individual appears to have been a male man-eater that was shot in the Dhadhol area of Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh, in 2016. It reportedly measured 8 ft 7 in (262 cm) from head to tail, 34 in (86 cm) at the shoulder, and weighed 71 kg (157 lb). The clouded leopard can be told apart by its diffuse "clouds" of spots compared to the smaller and distinct rosettes of the leopard, longer legs and thinner tail. 3.6 Biology and Behaviour

Graceful and stealthy, leopards are famous for their ability to go undetected. They are good, agile climbers, but cannot get down from a tree headfirst, because they do not have the ankle flexibility. Along with climbing, they are strong swimmers but not as fond of water as tigers. For example, leopards will not normally lie in water. They are mainly nocturnal but can be seen at any time of day and will even hunt during daytime on overcast days. In regions where they are hunted, nocturnal behaviour is more common. These cats are solitary, avoiding one another. However, three or four are sometimes seen together. Hearing and eyesight are the strongest of these cats' senses and are extremely acute. Olfaction is relied upon as well, but not for hunting. When making a threat, leopards stretch their backs, depress their ribcages between their shoulder blades so they stick out, and lower their heads (similar to domestic cats). During the day they may lie in bush, on rocks, or in a tree with their tails hanging below the treetops and giving them away. 3.7 Food Habit

Leopards are opportunistic hunters. Although mid-sized animals are preferred, the leopard will eat anything from dung beetles to 900 kg male giant elands. Their diet consists mostly of ungulates and monkeys, but rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish are also eaten. In fact, they hunt about 90 different species of animals. The leopard stalks its prey silently and at the last-minute pounces on its prey and strangles its throat with a quick bite. Leopards often hide their kills in dense vegetation or take them up trees, and are capable of carrying animals up to three times their own weight this way. Storing carcasses up trees keeps them away from other predators such as spotted hyenas, jackals, tigers and lions, though the latter will occasionally be successful in climbing and fetching the leopard kills. 3.8 Reproduction A male may follow a female who catches his attention. Eventually fighting for reproductive rights can take place. Depending on the region, leopards may mate all year round (India and Africa) or seasonally during January to February. The oestrous cycle lasts about 46 days and the female usually is in heat for 6-7 days. Cubs are usually born in a litter of 2-3, but infant mortality is high, and mothers are not commonly seen with more than 1-2 cubs. The pregnant females find a cave, crevice among boulders, hollow tree, or thicket to give birth and make a den. Cubs open their eyes after a period of 10 days. The fur of the young tends to be longer and thicker than that of adults. Their pelage is also greyer in color with less defined spots. Around three months the infants begin to follow the mother out on hunts. At one year of age leopard young can probably fend for themselves but they remain with the mother for 18-24 months. 3.9 Threats

➢ The Leopard is under threats from various quarters that include the demand for Skin ➢ conflict with habitat degradation. ➢ Habitat degradation and loss - more significantly from conversion of their habitat to ➢ agriculture, habitation and industrial growth. ➢ Hunting and poaching of Leopard for his Skin. ➢ The rapidly growing human population needs more food and timber off the same land. ➢ Grazing by domestic livestock is dramatically increasing as pastoralists sink new waterholes and transport animals by truck to temporary pastures. ➢ Presence of weed such as Prosopis juliflora in habitation of Leopard. The thorns of Prosopis are very strong and cause grave injuries. In several cases, the animals that get wounded by these thorns are not able to travel and hunt and feed themselves, they lose their health and finally die. ➢ Human–leopard conflict: Expansion of agriculturally used land, encroachment of humans and their livestock into protected areas are main factors contributing to habitat loss and decrease of wild prey. As a result, leopards’ approach human settlements, where they are tempted to prey on dogs, pigs and goats -domestic livestock, which constitutes an important part of their diet, if they live on the periphery of human habitations. Human–leopard conflict situations ensue, and have increased in recent years. In retaliation for attacks on livestock, leopards are shot, poisoned and trapped in brutal snares 3.10 Strategies of Conservation ➢ Protection and encouraging their breeding. ➢ Preservation of their habitats. ➢ Regulation on hunting. ➢ Stopping overexploitation of useful products from wildlife. ➢ No commercial mono-culture to replace natural forests. 3.11 Conservation Measures for Leopard ➢ Encourage Afforestation activities ➢ Plant of Prosopis juliflora and its seedling should be removed from habitation. ➢ Collection of fodder by local community for own basis requirement and domestic purposes should be prohibited in habitation in Leopard. ➢ The dogs must be enclosed in cages in the dark hours. The same holds true for medium-sized livestock. ➢ Wire mesh animal guards should be installed around the lease area to avoid these animals from accidentally entering into them. ➢ Organized seminar, conferences, poster presentation at school and Gram Panchayat level around Leopard habitation area with discussed on aware local people about not kill for trade for skin. ➢ Hunting of Leopard should be completely prohibited with the help of local people and Forest Department Officers.

Class Aves

Order Galliformes

Family Phasianidae

Sub-family Perdicinae

Genus Francolinus

Species francolinus

4.2 General Description The black francolin (Francolinus francolinus) is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds. It is the state bird of Haryana state, India. The head of the black francolin is curved with brown iris eyes color and unique pattern of brown color crown and the throat color is black. It has a length range of 33 to 36 cm and weight approximate about 453 g (16 oz) and the size of black francolin is 9 to 16 inches. The primary color is black with black breast rufous belly, white spots on flanks and golden-brown spots at the back of body. The flight pattern of black francolin is short, direct flight punctuated by glides with rounded wings, rounded tail narrow black and white bars. 4.3 Habitat Black francolin is found in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Java, Afghanistan, Sumatra and Maldives. There are some fragmented populations in the western parts of the range. The southern edge of its range extends eastwards from Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Orissa to Assam. In north it is seldom found above an altitude of 2700 m. Black francolins appear to be found in scrubby habitats with plenty of cultivated crops tall enough to offer shelter and open beneath to provide escape routes and easy travel. They prefer the areas of thick vegetation, usually near water. They are not forest birds but will frequent brush land and wood edges associated with grass land. These birds are secretive, shy and suspicious of humans. They generally found in small groups or in pairs. 4.4 Physical Characteristics The male is black with white patch on the cheek, a chestnut collar and white spots on the flanks. The back and wings are scalloped with shades of golden brown with sub-terminal tawny-buff bands and pale edges. Tail is black with narrow white bars. Legs are reddish-brown to red. Female similar to the male, but is paler, with wider brown bars on the lower back, the white cheek patch is missing and the chestnut collar replaced by a nuchal patch. 4.5 Biology and Behaviour Francolins normally nests in a tall grassland from late March to May. The male may be seen standing on a rock or low tree attracting attention with its extraordinary creaking call. It may be heard all day long in April, during nesting, and less persistently in March and May as well as the summer months. Both parents tend chicks after hatching. Young stay with parents through their first winter. The most likely breeding locations Savanna, Grasslands, Scrub vegetation areas under the cultivated crops. They have a loud call during the breeding season. Males may also become aggressive during the breeding season, make sure there is plenty of cover and escape routes for the hen and it may be necessary to house her separate and allow limited access for breeding only. They are generally monogamous in the wild and it is best to house only pair per aviary. Well planted aviaries with little surrounding traffic would be best for breeding. They are fairly winter hardy, but always provide some shelter during the coldest month breeds from late March to September depending on the range. 4.5.1.1 Flight pattern As the terrestrial birds, the Black Francolin does not like to fly. But is disturbed, it runs or flushes, flying over 300-400 metres in low flight with strong wing-beats alternating with glides, before to run again for reaching the cover. 4.5.1.2 Voice The call of the black francolin, described as a loud ringing klik cheek-cheek- cheerakik or "kik- kik- kik"," kwee- kweeeee- kwee" can be heard in the mornings and evenings and almost all day during the breeding season. 4.5.1.3 Protection/Threats/ Status: The Black Francolin has suffered heavy decline due to trapping and overhunting. The species is also vulnerable to habitat loss. With the ban of hunting, the populations are slowly recovering, but the species is rare in some parts of the range, and common to widespread elsewhere. However, the populations of the Black Francolin are not currently threatened. 4.6 Food Habit The Black Francolin feeds on seeds of grasses, weed and cereal crops. It also takes shoots, leaves and tubers, berries and figs. Some insects and their larvae, and especially termites and ants, are also consumed. It feeds on the ground and occasionally catches amphibians, reptiles, earthworms and spiders.

Figure 7: Indian Cobra Herpetologists recently have recognized two full species from within the old Naja naja: Naja kaouthia, the monocellate cobra, found from southeastern India to Thailand and Malaysia; and Naja naja proper, the Indian spectacled cobra, found in Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan. These big, quick, dangerously venomous snakes require very large quarters, preferably well- ventilated rooms at least 6 feet on each side. 5.1 Taxonomy Table 8: Taxonomic Classification Kingdom Animalia

Order Squamata

Suborder Serpentes

Family Elapidae

Genus Naja

Species N. naja

5.2 Geographical distribution Pakistan, India (throughout most of the country), Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, possibly E. Afghanistan. The Indian cobra is native to the Indian subcontinent which includes present day Nepal, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Srilanka. It can be found in plains, jungles, open fields and the regions heavily populated by people. Its distribution ranges from sea-level up to 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) above sea-level. 5.3 General Description The Indian Cobra's most known characteristic features are the wide black band on the underside of the neck, and the hood marking design which shows half-rings on either side of the hood. It is a smooth-scaled snake with black eyes, a wide neck and head, and a medium- sized body. Its colouring varies from black, to dark brown, to a creamy white. The body is usually covered with a spectacled white or yellow pattern, which sometimes forms ragged bands. The Indian cobra may grow from 1.8 m to 2.2 m.

The Indian Cobra's most known characteristic features are the wide black band on the underside of the neck, and the hood marking design which shows half-rings on either side of the hood. It is a smooth-scaled snake with black eyes, a wide neck and head, and a medium- sized body. Its colouring varies from black, to dark brown, to a creamy white. The body is usually covered with a spectacled white or yellow pattern, which sometimes forms ragged bands. The Indian cobra may grow from 1.8 m to 2.2 m. 5.4 Habitat Indian cobras are found in many habitats but generally prefer open forest edges, fields, and the areas around villages, often with water in the vicinity. They are found anywhere their prey, rats, are abundant. The Indian cobra usually hides in holes in embankments, termite mounds, tree hollows, rock piles, caves, cracks and small mammal dens. 5.5 Physical Characteristics The Indian cobra is a medium sized, heavy bodied snake, with most adult specimens ranging from 3 to 5 ft (1-1,5 m) in length. Although occasionally some very large individuals, grow to more than 7 ft (2m). The Indian cobra head is elliptical in shape, somewhat depressed and only slightly distinct from neck. They have a short and rounded snout with large nostrils. The eyes are medium sized with round pupils. Their body is covered with smooth scales. These markings when present, are formed by 2 circular ocelli connected by a curved line, resembling spectacles. Hence one of the species common names spectacled cobra, contrary to the monocled cobra which has only one circular ocelli.

5.6 Biology and Behaviour The Indian cobra is one of the big four snakes of India, which are the snake species responsible for most of human fatalities by snakebite in India. The Indian cobra venom is highly neurotoxic and contains powerful post-synaptic neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, and other components like enzymes that help the venom to spread into the victim's body. Local symptoms include swelling in the bite area, other general symptoms include weak limbs, eyelid drooping and extreme salivation accompanied by vomiting and sweating. The venom acts by paralyzing muscles, and in the most severe bites it can lead to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest and ultimately to death.

Their venom is fast acting with envenomation symptoms manifesting in as little as 15 minutes and up to 2 hours after the bite. The subcutaneous LD50 value in mice, ranges from 0.45 mg/kg to 0.75 mg/kg, with an average venom yield per bite ranging between 170 and 250 mg. Even though Indian cobras are responsible for thousands of bites, if prompt medical treatment and anti-venom are available and administered properly, only about 10% of bites prove to be fatal. But even without treatment and depending on the quantity of venom injected by the snake, studies show a mortality rate of approximately 20 to 30% for untreated bite victims. A polyvalent antivenom serum is used to treat snakebites caused by the Indian cobra. Also, Zedoary, a local spice, reputed for being effective in treating snake bites, is undergoing testing to see its effectiveness against the Indian cobra venom. 5.7 Food Habit The Indian cobra feeds on a variety of animals, but it preys mostly on rodents. This is why they are sometimes found near human dwellings, entering buildings, climbing on roof tops and trees in search of rodents. They also eat small mammals, birds and bird eggs, frogs, toads, lizards and even snakes including other venomous snakes. The Indian cobra bites quickly, injecting their prey with the highly toxic venom and then just wait until it paralyzes or kills the prey. Just like all other snake species, they swallow their prey whole. 5.8 Conservation/Threats

The Indian cobra is not considered an endangered species, but there are some threats to the species. These include killing them out of fear or for human consumption and road kill.

The Indian cobra is also the snake used by Indian snake charmers. Its toxic venom is also necessary in the production of antivenom and other research including pain-killers and anti- cancer drugs, some of it harvested illegally in regions of India and other countries within its range. They are also hunted for their skin bearing the distinctive hood markings which is then used in the leather industry. The Indian cobra is one of the many venomous snakes exploited for making traditional Chinese medicines and also snake vine. The species is listed in CITES because it closely resembles other threatened species. The species is also protected in India under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act (1972).

Class Mammalia

Order Carnivora

Family Canidae

Genus Canus

Species aureus

6.2 General Description Jackal commonly found in India is also known as the Himalayan jackal or Golden jackal. 6.3 Physical Structure Large, with soft, pale fur with predominantly sandy tones. The general color of the outer fur is usually black and white, while the underfur varies from pale brown to pale slate-grey. Occasionally, the nape and shoulders are of a buff color. The ears and front legs are buff, sometimes tan, while the feet are pale. The hind legs are more deeply tinted above the hocks. The chin and forethroat are usually whitish. Weight varies geographically, ranging around 8– 10 kg (18–22 lb). In areas where it borders the range of the larger, more richly colored Indian jackal (particularly the area of Kumaun in India), animals of intermediate size and color sometimes appear. Black specimens have been reported in Bengal. Adults are slightly larger than common jackals, and grow to a length of 100 cm (39 in), 35–45 cm (14–18 in) in height and 8–11 kg (18–24 lb) in weight. 6.4 Distribution and Habitat Jackals are found in the variety of habitats. They are mostly spotted in the semi- desert, evergreen forests, savannas and agricultural areas. 6.5 Feeding Habits The jackal's omnivorous diet allows it to eat a large range of foods; this diet, together with its tolerance of dry conditions, enables it to live in different habitats. The jackal's long legs and lithe body allow it to trot over great distances in search of food. It is able to go without water for extended periods and has been observed on islands that have no fresh water. They have been known to ascend over 1,000 m (3,300 ft) up the slopes of the Himalayas; they can withstand temperatures as low as −25 °C (−13 °F) and sometimes −35 °C (−31 °F). They are not adapted to snow, and in snow country they must travel along paths made by larger animals or humans. In India, they will occupy the surrounding foothills above arable areas, entering human settlements at night to feed on garbage, and have established themselves around hill stations at 2,000 m (6,600 ft) height above mean sea level.

Jackal is both a predator and a scavenger, and an omnivorous and opportunistic forager with a diet that varies according to its habitat and the season. In Bharatpur, India, over 60% of its diet was measured to consist of rodents, birds, and fruit. In the Kanha Tiger Reserve, 80% of its diet consists of rodents, reptiles and fruit. Vegetable matter forms part of the jackal diet, and in India they feed intensively on the fruits of buckthorn, dogbane, Java plum, and the pods of mesquite and the golden rain tree. The jackal will scavenge off the kills made by the lion, tiger, leopard, dhole, and gray wolf. In some regions of Bangladesh and India, these subsist by scavenging on carrion and garbage, and will cache extra food by burying it. 6.6 Mating Behaviour Jackals are monogamous and will remain with the one partner until death. Female jackals have only one breeding cycle each year. Breeding occurs from February to March in India with the mating period lasting up to 26–28 days. Females undergoing their first estrous are often pursued by several males that may quarrel among themselves. Mating results in a copulatory tie that lasts for several minutes, as it does with all other canids. Gestation lasts 63 days, and the timing of the births coincides with the annual abundance of food.

In India, the jackal will take over the dens of the Bengal fox and the Indian crested porcupine, and will use abandoned gray wolf dens. Most breeding pairs are spaced well apart and maintain a core territory around their dens. Den excavations commence from late April to May in India, with dens located in scrub areas. Rivulets, gullies, and road and check-dam embankments are prime denning habitats. Drainage pipes and culverts have been used as dens. Dens are 2–3 m (6.6–9.8 ft) long and 0.5–1 m (1.6–3.3 ft) deep, with between 1–3 openings. Young pups can be moved between 2–4 dens. The male helps with digging the den and raising the pups. 6.7 Status Jackal (Canis aureus), is included in CITES Appendix III, and is listed in the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, under Schedule II (part 2). 6.8 Human Interaction In the Marwahi forest division of the Chhattisgarh state in eastern India, the jackal is of conservation value and there were no jackal attacks reported before 1997. During 1998–2005 there were 220 reported cases of jackal attacks on humans, although none were fatal. The majority of these attacks occurred in villages, followed by forests and crop fields. Jackals build their dens in the bouldery hillocks that surround flat areas, and these areas have been encroached by human agriculture and settlements. This encroachment has led to habitat fragmentation and the need for jackals to enter agricultural areas and villages in search for food, resulting in conflict with humans. People in this region habitually chase jackals from their villages, which leads to the jackals becoming aggressive. Female jackals with pups respond with an attack more often than lone males. 6.8.1 Threats & Revival While hunting and trapping by humans have played a part in the decline of this subspecies of jackal, the primary factors include drastic loss of habitat, decline in prey populations, acting as harmful pests to domestic animals and increase in human populations within the jackal’s historic ranges.

Some indigenous people of India, such as the Kolis and Vaghirs of Gujarat and Rajasthan and the Narikuravas in Tamil Nadu, hunt and eat golden jackals, but the majority of South Asian cultures consider the animal to be unclean. The orthodox dharma texts forbid the eating of jackals because they have five nails. In the area of the former Soviet Union, jackals are not actively hunted and are usually captured only incidentally during the hunting of other animals by means of traps or shooting during drives. 6.8.2 Specific conservation measures for Jackal • Awareness: The public shall be informed on a regular basis about species status, management and research and ways to reduce damage. The most influential ways of communication shall be chosen – radio, TV, biggest newspapers and other social media platforms. Seminars for specialists from relevant fields on jackals (large carnivore) conservation news shall be held. • Ban on poaching: Stricter implementation/ penalization for poaching, hunting and illegal trade of jackal products. • Livestock owners will be informed about possible ways of preventing jackal attacks as well as about the risk factors that increase the probability of such attacks. • For surveillance: With the people’s participation some guides will be included from the adjoining villages in the project team which will keep alerting for any unwanted incidences to happen. They will be awarded for such surveillance support activities. • For offending elements: The enforcement authorities will be informed and with their help action will be taken against such elements. • For patrolling of the area: The forest department is expected to patrol the surrounding areas for curbing any prohibited activities. The project team may provide conveyance facilities to these teams on availability.

Family: Varanidae

Genus: Varanus

Subgenus: Empagusia

Species: V. bengalensis

7.2 General Description Bengal monitors or common Indian monitors (Varanus bengalensis) occur across much of southern Asia. Compared to other varanid lizards, Bengal monitors have a much larger geographic range, where they are considered less restricted both geographically and environmentally. This species is widely distributed from Afghanistan to Java, including southeastern Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, southern Nepal, Bhutan, and China, North and South Vietnam, Laos, and islands in the Strait of Malacca and the Greater Sunda Islands. 7.3 Habitat Unlike other varanid lizards, Bengal monitors have the ability to cope with a broad range of environments, from deserts to rainforests to habitats having seasonally snowy winters. However, generally they are found in areas with continuously warm climates, with mean annual air temperatures of approximately 24 C. Most of southern Asia experiences seasonal monsoons and wind patterns influenced by neighbouring seas and mountains. Thus, precipitation across much of the range for Bengal monitors is highly variable. Some habitat areas are relatively arid, with mean precipitation less than 200 mm per year. Other habitats are considerably more humid, with annual rainfall reaching 2,200 mm per year. The most common tropical forest habitats for Bengal monitors are deciduous, semi-deciduous, evergreen tropical forests, and thorn brush. 7.4 Physical Characteristics Adult Bengal monitors are generally grey or greenish-grey in color, with a ventral pattern of grey to black crossbars from the chin to the tail. These markings are generally darkest in the western parts and lightest in the eastern parts of the geographic range. These ventral markings typically become lighter, and the ground color darker, with age. Thus, adults display a less pronounced, less contrasting pattern than younger Bengal monitors. In the wild, the heaviest recorded male Bengal monitor weighed 7.18 kg, though captive individuals have been reported to reach 10.2 kg. In the wild, males generally weigh 42% more than females. Males of the same snout to vent length (SVL) as females are typically 9.2% heavier. Young Bengal monitors, on average, weigh 0.078 kg. 7.5 Behaviour In the wild, Bengal monitors are almost completely solitary. Much of the daytime is spent in constant movement, searching for food. Bengal monitor are more likely to interact with one another during the peak breading season, when males compete for mates. (Auffenberg, 1994). There are no noted negative impacts of Varanus bengalensis on humans. Bengal monitors are not large enough to attack any livestock nor do they eat any human cultivated crops. They may eat any small mammals that they can easily catch. 7.6 Food Habit The diet of Bengal monitors is almost strictly carnivorous. They consume almost anything that is smaller than themselves and that they can easily overpower. They are known to scavenge carcasses of previously felled animals. Their documented observed prey species list is considerable, containing roughly 200 species. Common prey includes: annelids, insects, amphibians, smaller reptiles, birds, small mammals, and eggs. Cannibalism of eggs, hatchlings, and even adults has been noted, although predation on adults is rare. As with most varanids, they swallow prey whole but are also capable of ripping and tearing flesh from larger animals and carcasses. At smaller body sizes for Bengal monitors, various beetles species represent the largest portion of their diet, averaging 52.8%. The second largest component of their diet is made up of orthopteran insects at 9.5%. The remainder of their diet is made up of other insects, crabs, rodents, reptiles, spiders, birds and almost any other animal they can reasonably consume. Primary Diet carnivore eats terrestrial vertebrate’s insectivore eats non- insect arthropods scavenger. Animal Foods birds’ mammals’ amphibians’ reptiles’ carrion insect’s terrestrial non-insect arthropods 7.7 Conservation Status According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, Varanus bengalensis is a species of Least Concern. This is based on its wide geographic range. However, there are increasing pressures on the species. They are hunted for their meat, skins, and for use in medicine. Due to expanding human habitation and urbanization, the range threats to their population are likely to increase in the future.

8 Conservation Plan for Indian Fox

Figure 10 Indian Jackal 8.1 Taxonomy Table 11: Taxonomical classification of Indian Fox Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Sub phylum Vertebrata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Family: Canidae

Genus: Vulpes

Species: bengalensis

8.2 General Description Vulpes bengalensis is a relatively small fox with an elongated muzzle, long, pointed ears, and a bushy tail about 50 to 60% of the length of the head and body. Its dorsal pelage is very variable, but mostly grayish and paler ventrally; its legs tend to be brownish or rufous. It is more daintily built than Vulpes vulpes. The tail is bushy with a prominent black tip which distinguishes it from V. vulpes. Back of ears are dark brown with black margin. Its rhinarium is naked and the lips are black, with small black hair patches on upper part of nuzzle (shaft) in front of eyes. The ears have the same colour as the nape or maybe darker, but not having a dark patch as in V. vulpes. Extensive variation in coat colour exists across populations and seasonally within populations, but generally varies from grey to pale brown. The head and body length is 18 in (46 cm), with a 10 in (25 cm) long tail. Typical weight is 5 to 9 pounds (2.3 to 4.1 kg).

Foxes make a wide range of vocalizations. A chattering cry is the most common call. They also growl, whine, whimper, and bark. The Bengal fox does not appear to have latrine behaviour, a feature seen in some social canids, in which all members defecate at specific spots. They can be heard howling in the night in groups. 8.3 Habitat Bengal foxes are mainly crepuscular in their habits. During the heat of the day, they hide under vegetation or in subterranean dens that they dig. The dens are large and complex with multiple chambers and escape routes. They are sometimes seen basking at a vantage point around sunrise or sunset. In captivity, the lifespan is about 6 to 8 years. 8.4 Reproduction The Bengal fox forms pair bonds that may last a lifetime, but extra-pair copulations are known to occur. Throughout most of its range, the mating season starts in autumn (usually October– November) and after a gestation period around 50–60 days, two to four pups are born in a den. Both parents participate in pup-rearing. The pups are fully weaned about 3–4 months after emerging from the den. Pup mortality is high during the first few months. Pups may sometimes be nursed by multiple females. During the day, they tend to rest under shrubs and bushes, except in summer when they rest in dens. 8.5 Food Habit Indian foxes were observed to feed on a wide variety of prey items. Arthropods were the most frequently occurring prey in their diet. IRI scores were highest for the group Coleoptera and Orthoptera followed by rodents, termites, Ziziphus fruits and spiny tailed lizards (Uromastyx hardwickii). IRI scores for rodents were higher for pups, differing significantly from proportions present in adult diet, thus indicating that they are crucial food items for the young ones. Prey proportions in the fox diet differed between the two habitats in the study area (grassland and scrubland).

9 Conservation Plan for Jungle Cat

Figure 11: Jungle Cat 9.1 Taxonomy Table 12: Taxonomical Classification of Jungle Cat

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Suborder: Feliformia

Family: Felidae

Subfamily: Felinae

Genus: Felis

Species: F. chaus

9.2 General Description The jungle cat (Felis chaus), also called reed cat and swamp cat, is a medium-sized cat native to the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia and southern China. It inhabits foremost wetlands like swamps, littoral and riparian areas with dense vegetation. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, and is mainly threatened by destruction of wetlands, trapping and poisoning.

The jungle cat has a uniformly sandy, reddish-brown or grey fur without spots; melanistic and albino individuals are also known. It is solitary in nature, except during the mating season and mother-kitten families. Adults maintain territories by urine spraying and scent marking. Its preferred prey is small mammals and birds. It hunts by stalking its prey, followed by a sprint or a leap; the ears help in pinpointing the location of prey. Both sexes become sexually mature by the time they are one year old; females enter oestrus from January to March. Mating behaviour is similar to that in the domestic cat: the male pursues the female in oestrus, seizes her by the nape of her neck and mounts her. Gestation lasts nearly two months. Births take place between December and June, though this might vary geographically. Kittens begin to catch their own prey at around six months and leave the mother after eight or nine months.

The jungle cat is a medium-sized, long-legged cat, and the largest of the extant Felis species. The head-and-body length is typically between 59 and 76 cm (23 and 30 in). This cat stands nearly 36 cm (14 in) at shoulder and weighs 2–16 kg (4.4–35.3 lb). Its body size decreases from west (Israel) to east (India); this was attributed to greater competition from small cats in the east; body size shows a similar decrease from the northern latitudes toward the tropics. Sexually dimorphic, females tend to be smaller and lighter than males. The face is long and narrow, with a white muzzle. The large, pointed ears, 4.5–8 cm (1.8–3.1 in) in length and reddish brown on the back, are set close together; a small tuft of black hairs, nearly 15 mm (0.59 in) long, emerges from the tip of both ears. The eyes have yellow irides and elliptical pupils; white lines can be seen around the eye. Dark lines run from the corner of the eyes down the sides of the nose and a dark patch marks the nose. The skull is fairly broad in the region of the zygomatic arch; hence the head of this cat appears relatively rounder

A habitat generalist, the jungle cat inhabits places with adequate water and dense vegetation, such as swamps, wetlands, littoral and riparian areas, grasslands and shrub. It is common in agricultural lands, such as fields of bean and sugarcane, across its range, and has often been sighted near human settlements. As reeds and tall grasses are typical of its habitat, it is known as "reed cat" or "swamp cat". It can thrive even in areas of sparse vegetation, but does not adapt well to cold climates and is rare in areas where snowfall is common. Historical records indicate that it occurs up to elevations of 2,310 m (7,580 ft) in the Himalayas. It shuns rainforests and woodlands 9.3 Behaviour The jungle cat is typically diurnal and hunts throughout the day. Its activity tends to decrease during the hot noon hours. It rests in burrows, grass thickets and scrubs. It often sunbathes on winter days. Jungle cats have been estimated to walk 3–6 kilometres (1.9–3.7 mi) at night, although this likely varies depending on the availability of prey. The behaviour of the jungle cat has not been extensively studied. Solitary in nature, it does not associate with conspecifics, except in the mating season. The only prominent interaction is the mother- kitten bond. Territories are maintained by urine spraying and scent marking; some males have been observed rubbing their cheeks on objects to mark them. 9.4 Reproduction Both sexes become sexually mature by the time they are one year old. Females enter oestrus lasting for about five days, from January to March. In males, spermatogenesis occurs mainly in February and March. In southern Turkmenistan, mating occurs from January to early February. The mating season is marked by noisy fights among males for dominance. Mating behaviour is like that in the domestic cat: the male pursues the female in oestrus, seizes her by the nape of her neck and mounts her. Vocalisations and flehmen are prominent during courtship. After a successful copulation, the female gives out a loud cry and reacts with aversion towards her partner. The pair then separate. 9.5 Food Habit Jungle cats primarily prey on animals that weigh less than 1 kg and commonly consume rodents, lizards, snakes, frogs, birds, hare, fish, insects, livestock, and even fruit during the winter. Rodents are its primary prey item, however, which provides up to 70% of its daily energy intake. Although they specialize on small prey, jungle cats have been known to kill wild pigs (Sus scrofa) and chital fawns (Axis axis).

Primary Diet: carnivore eats terrestrial vertebrates

Animal Foods: birds mammals amphibians reptiles fish insects

Plant Foods: fruit 9.6 Conservation status Habitat destruction and persecution by humans are the main threats to jungle cats. As the human population increases, more land is cultivated and jungle cats' natural habitat is converted to farmland. Although they are very adaptable, these altered environments do not support the same density of cats. In addition, farmers often hunt and poison jungle cats for attacking and killing poultry and are also poached for their fur. Although laws have been implemented to protect them, illegal trade still continues in many countries. For example, over the last decade more than 3,000 jungle cat skins have been seized across the globe. Currently, jungle cats are considered as a species of "least concern" by the IUCN, however, population numbers are currently declining.

Jungle cats feed primarily on rodents, which provide up to 70% of the cats daily energy intake. They are often spotted hunting near villages and farms where rodent populations tend to be higher and are sometimes viewed as pests themselves.

Positive Impacts body parts are source of valuable material controls pest population

Jungle cats can negatively impact poultry farm owners. As a result, jungle cats are often hunted and poisoned by farmers for attacking poultry. 10 Conservation Plan for Common Mongoose

Figure 12: Common Mongoose 10.1 Taxonomy Table 13: Taxonomical Classification of Common Mongoose

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora

Suborder: Feliformia

Family: Herpestidae

Genus Herpestes

Species edwardsi

10.2 General Description The Indian grey mongoose has tawny grey or iron grey fur, which is more grizzled and stiffer and coarser than that of other mongooses. The ruddiness of the coat varies in different subspecies, but it is described as appearing more grey than other mongooses. The grizzled appearance comes from the individual hairs being ringed by creamy-white and black. The legs are brown and darker than the body. The hair around the muzzle and eyes is also brown but with a stronger rusty red colouring. The tail is bushy, whilst the tip of the tail, if coloured, is pale yellow or white.

The Indian grey mongoose is omnivorous, though most of its diet is made up from live prey it catches from being an opportunistic hunter, with mice, rats, lizards, snakes, and beetles making up the bulk. Also eaten are ground birds, their eggs, grasshoppers, scorpions, centipedes, frogs, crabs, fish, and parts of plants: fruits, berries, and roots, as well as larger prey including hares and egrets. It kills prey by delivering a bite to the neck or head

The lifespan of the Indian grey mongoose is seven years in the wild, or 12 years, when in captivity 10.3 Habitat They appear to be able to occupy a wide variety of habitats but preferring open types. These include grasslands, open areas, rocky patches, scrub, semi-desert, cultivated fields and other disturbed areas, areas of thickets, bushy vegetation, dry secondary forest, thorn forest, forest edges, and also near human settlement. 10.4 Physical Characteristics All species of mongoose are long and thin, somewhat similar to weasels, with short legs and pointed snouts. The smallest species of African mongoose -- the dwarf mongoose -- is just 7 inches in length, while the Egyptian mongoose is the largest at nearly 2 feet. Their tails are long as well, measuring from 6 to 21 inches. A mongoose’s fur coloration also varies by species, with some solid brown or gray and some with stripes on their bodies, like the banded mongoose, or tails, like the Malagasy ring-tailed mongoose. 10.5 Behaviour Some species of mongoose, such as the meerkat and the banded mongoose, live in large social groups of up to 30 or 40 individuals. These mongooses use social behaviors and hierarchies to breed, defend themselves and improve their hunting capacity. Other mongooses, like the Egyptian and Malagasy ring-tailed, live in pairs, small families or alone. All mongooses are known to be creative in hunting prey, and many are quite bold. 10.6 Food Habit For their diminutive size, mongooses are hearty predators with creative, often bold, hunting skills. Most species eat rodents, reptiles and frogs, birds and insects, and some will supplement their primarily carnivorous diet with fruit or other plant material. The dwarf mongoose, with its particularly small size, eats primarily insects and spiders, while larger species, like the Egyptian mongoose, subsist on bigger prey including birds and mammals. Though mongooses are famously known to attack venomous snakes, such attacks are defensive and such snakes are not typically part of the mongoose diet. 10.7 Conservation Status and Threats According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), most mongoose species are listed as threatened, but not extinct.

Ironically, in the 1800s mongooses were introduced to Hawaii and the West Indies to control rodent populations at sugarcane plantations. This introduction in turn caused many species of birds and other animals to almost become extinct. In fact, the small Asian mongoose is listed as one of the world's 100 worst invasive alien species.

There are no major threats to this species. Slender Mongooses are locally used as bushmeat and in traditional medicine. Although wildlife ranching and the private sector have possibly had a positive effect on this species due to the conservation and connection of suitable habitats, this small carnivore may be accidentally caught as bycatch in predator and rodent control programmes using poisons. It is however unlikely that these consumptive uses and accidental mortalities have a substantial effect on the population.

11.2 General Description The rhesus macaque is brown or grey in color and has a pink face, which is bereft of fur. Its tail is of medium length and averages between 20.7 and 22.9 cm (8.1 and 9.0 in). Adult males measure about 53 cm (21 in) on average and weigh about 7.7 kg (17 lb). Females are smaller, averaging 47 cm (19 in) in length and 5.3 kg (12 lb) in weight. Rhesus macaques have, on average, 50 vertebrae. Their ratio of arm length to leg length is 89%. They have dorsal scapulae and a wide rib cage.

11.3 Habitat Macaca mulatta lives in a wide range of habitats and shows a great deal of adaptability. Some populations live in flatlands, while others, in northern India and Pakistan, live in the Himalayas at elevations up to 3,000 m. These primates are able to aclimate to a variety of climatic extremes, from the hot, dry temperatures found in deserts, to cold winter temperatures which fall to well below the freezing point.

In addition to living in the wilderness, some populations of M. mulatta have become accustomed to living alongside humans. Occasionally, small groups can be found living in the densely populated urban areas of northern India. Groups of rhesus monkeys that become used to living in areas occupied by people usually search out other human-populated areas if people attempt to relocate them away from civilization. 11.4 Behaviour and Reproduction Macaca mulatta lives in a wide range of habitats, and shows a great deal of adaptability.

Occasionally, small groups can be found living in the densely populated urban areas of northern India. Groups of rhesus monkeys that become used to living in areas occupied by people usually search out other human-populated areas if people attempt to relocate them away from civilization.

Rhesus monkeys are highly active and very loud. They enjoy being in water and are good swimmers. They live in groups of up to two hundred individuals. When a group's size reaches 80 to 100 members, a subgroup of females may split off to form a new group. Populations generally consist of a few unrelated males and many closely related females. Sometimes small groups form that consist of only males. Males usually leave the group in which they were born shortly after they reach sexual maturity. 11.5 Food Habit The dietary habits of rhesus monkeys can vary greatly depending upon where they live. Macaca mulatta is omnivorous, and often eat roots, herbs, fruits, insects, crops, and small animals. The diet can also vary with the season. For example, rhesus that live in the mountain forests of northern Pakistan feed primarily on clovers during the summer, but during winter when snow covers the ground they are forced to switch to foods with lower nutritional values and higher fiber contents, such as pine needles and oak leaves. These monkeys seem to choose their environments carefully with respect to food resources. Even when they are forced to switch to lower quality food sources during the winter months, they do not exhibit higher mortality rates, although they may lose a considerable percentage of their body weight. 11.6 Conservation Status IUCN considers this species Lower risk/ near threatened.

Genus: Semnopithecus

12.2 General Description Gray langurs, sacred langurs, Indian langurs or Hanuman langurs are a group of Old-World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent constituting the entirety of the genus Semnopithecus. Gray langurs are fairly terrestrial, inhabiting forest, open lightly wooded habitats, and urban areas on the Indian subcontinent. Most species are found at low to moderate altitudes, but the Nepal gray langur and Kashmir gray langur occur up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft) in the Himalayas.

In one-male groups, the resident male is usually the sole breeder of the females and sires all the young. In multiple-male groups, the highest-ranking male fathers most of the offspring, followed by the next-ranking males and even outside males will father young. Higher-ranking females are more reproductively successful than lower-ranking ones

Female gray langurs do not make it obvious that they are in estrous. However, males are still somehow able to deduce the reproduction state of females. Females signal that they are ready to mate by shuddering the head, lowering the tail, and presenting their anogenital regions. Such solicitations do not always lead to copulation. When langurs mate, they are sometimes disrupted by other group members Females have even been recorded mounting other females. 12.3 Habitat The Southern Plains Grey Langur is primarily herbivorous and feeds on a wide range of plant matter, from leaves, fruit, shoots, roots, grass, bamboo, ferns, coniferous needles and cones, mosses and lichen. This means they do not live in specialised habitats, and can be found at various altitudes in tropical rainforest, dry deciduous forest, sacred groves, gardens and open scrub. 12.4 Food Habit Gray langurs are primarily herbivores. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat coniferous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen petioles, shoots and roots, seeds, grass, bamboo, fern rhizomes, mosses, and lichens. Leaves of trees and shrubs rank at the top of preferred food, followed by herbs and grasses. Non-plant material consumed include spider webs, termite mounds and insect larvae. They forage on agricultural crops and other human foods, and even accept handouts. Although they occasionally drink, langurs get most of their water from the moisture in their food 12.5 Behaviour Langur groups tend to be small, with around 7 to 15 members, including a dominate male and three or more females and their young. In some cases you can find monogamous pairs. A typical group embraces a territory of 35 to 40 hectares. Males not in a group may form all male groups.

Many langur and Asian colobine monkeys form territorial groups of related females (natal groups) who appear to safeguard availability to resources and allow preferential access to a single male, but usually for no more than two years. Dominate male changes are followed by bouts of infanticide in which the new male methodically kills all unweaned infants in the group and mates with females ensure their offspring carry his genes not those of his rival. This behavior was first noted among Hanuman langurs but occurs among other species as well. Curiously, many langur infants are born with an orange natal coat that contrasts with that of other monkey changes to adult coloration after a few months. This feature would seem to help new males target their victims.

Langurs make a noise that sounds like a "staccato cough" when they are angry or spot a tiger. When langurs drink at water holes, there is often a scout in a tree that keeps an eyes for tigers and other predators. 12.6 Threats and Conservation Grey Langurs are under protective laws in India which forbid people from killing or capturing them, but lack of awareness and enforcement means these langurs are often kept as pets, for roadside performances, for religious purposes by Hindu priests. Additionally, they are also occasionally hunted for food and medicinal purposes, and certain parts of their bodies are used as lucky amulets.

Although they are considered less aggressive than other primates, they are occasionally persecuted for their crop-raiding and food-stealing behaviours, especially in towns and cities. The populations living in urban habitats are also subject to accidental mortality on roads.

Their biggest threat is considered to be logging, agriculture and slash-and-burn (jhum) practices which are encroaching on natural forest habitats. However, as Southern Plains Grey Langurs have successfully adapted to urban habitats and are common in their widely distributed range, they are listed as Least Concern by IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Phylum Chordata

Class Reptilia

Order Squamata

Family Elapidae

Genus Bungarus

Species caerulus

13.2 General description The Common Krait (Bungarus caeruleus) or also known as Indian Krait is a venomous snake and a member of the big four that is responsible for maximum human deaths across India.

13.2.1 Physical Structure The average length is 0.9 m (3.0 ft), but they can grow to 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in). Males are longer, with proportionately longer tails. The head is flat and the neck hardly evident. The body is cylindrical, tapering towards the tail. The tail is short and rounded. The eyes are rather small, with rounded pupils, indistinguishable in life. The head shields are normal, with no loreals; four shields occur along the margin of the lower lip; the third and fourth supraoculars touch the eye. The scales are highly polished, in 15-17 rows; the vertebral row is distinctly enlarged and hexagonal. Ventrals number 185-225 and caudals 37-50.

Colouration is generally black or bluish black, with about 40 thin, white crossbars which may be indistinct or absent anteriorly. The pattern, however, is complete and well defined in the young, which are marked with conspicuous crossbars even anteriorly; in old individuals, the narrow white lines may be found as a series of connected spots, with a prominent spot on the vertebral region. A white preocular spot may be present; the upper lips and the belly are white.

13.2.2 Distribution and Habitat This species is found in main Peninsular India from Sindh (Pakistan), to the West Bengal plains. It occurs throughout South India and Sri Lanka at elevations up to about 1600 m. It is also recorded from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

Its range comprises a wide variety of habitats. It is found in fields and low scrub jungle, as well as inhabited areas. It is known to take up residence in termite mounds, brick piles, rat holes, even inside houses. It is frequently found in water or in proximity to a water source. Nocturnal in nature, it is alert and active after dusk until early morning. During the day it is found generally resting inside rodent burrows, termite hills and brick and rubble piles.

13.2.3 Food Habits Found in farms and gardens, the Common Krait is cannibalistic in nature and also preys on other snakes. The common krait feeds primarily on other snakes, including: "blind worms" and cannibalizes on other kraits, including the young. It also feeds on small mammals (such as rats, and mice), lizards and frogs. The young are known to eat arthropods.

13.2.4 Mating Behaviour The Common Krait breeding season begins with summer this is an oviparous snake, meaning females lay eggs. Like some other snake species, male combat has been observed normally during spring and summer months. Females will lay a clutch of 8 to 12 eggs in mounds, holes, and in leaf litter from March to July. The eggs will hatch in about 60 days usually coinciding with the start of monsoon season, during the incubation period the female stays with the eggs. At birth, the hatchlings are about 25 to 27cm long and look similar to adults.

13.2.5 Status The Indian Krait (Bungarus caerulus) has not been accessed yet by IUCN but is listed in the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, under Schedule IV .

13.2.6 Human Interaction Rodents, lizards and frogs are depredated by the krait. It has been reported that Indian rock krait feeds on these indiscriminately, but seem to prefer other snakes. Most of the depredations occurred on the roads and agricultural fields because people preferred to kill the poisonous snake out of fear or did not see the snake move by in the night.

The loss of habitat of Indian krait due to deforestation leads towards the great economic loss to the local community as well as to the forest ecosystems. Some people were also in the favor of the kraits as it eats the other poisonous snakes. They thought that the pythons were not dangerous to humans and should not be removed. Others thought they were dangerous so either should be killed or taken into laboratories for anti-venom production purposes or else should be eaten/ skin should be sold off.

Threats

The major threats to the species include indiscriminate killing due to fear of this highly venomous snake and also deforestation. They are very often victims of road kill, while in many parts of their range they are exploited for their meat and skin. Their venom regarded as medically useful is traded and high in demand and price. 13.2.7 Conservation strategy

Specific conservation measures for Indian Krait

• Awareness: The public shall be informed on a regular basis about species status, management and research and ways to reduce damage. The most influential ways of communication shall be chosen – radio, TV, biggest newspapers and other social media platforms. Seminars for specialists from relevant fields on snakes conservation news shall be held. • Ban on poaching: Stricter implementation/ penalization for poaching, hunting and illegal trade of snake products. • Encouragement of afforestation activities to prevent habitat loss • For surveillance: With the people’s participation some guides will be included from the adjoining villages in the project team which will keep alerting for any unwanted incidences to happen. They will be awarded for such surveillance support activities. • For offending elements: The enforcement authorities will be informed and with their help action will be taken against such elements. • For patrolling of the area: The forest department is expected to patrol the surrounding areas for curbing any prohibited activities. The project team may provide conveyance facilities to these teams on availability. • Hunting of Common Krait for their skin should be completely prohibited with the help of local people and Forest Department Officers. • Provision of better lighting at highways and roads to avoid road kills.

14.2 General Description V. russelii can grow to a maximum length (body + tail) of 166 cm (5.5 ft) and averages about 120 cm (4 ft) on mainland Asian populations. Island populations may be slightly smaller on average. It is slenderer than most vipers. Ditmars (1937) reported the following dimensions for a "fair-sized adult specimen".

Table 18: General Description

Total length 4 ft., 1 inch 124 cm Length of tail 7 inches 18 cm Girth 6 inches 15 cm Width of head 2 inches 5 cm Length of head 2 inches 5 cm

The head is flattened, triangular, and distinct from the neck. The snout is blunt, rounded, and raised. The nostrils are large, each in the middle of a large, single nasal scale. The lower edge of the nasal scale touches the naso rostral scale. The supra nasal scale has a strong crescent shape and separates the nasal from the naso rostral scale anteriorly. The rostral scale is as broad as it is high.

The crown of the head is covered with irregular, strongly fragmented scales. The supra ocular scales are narrow, single, and separated by six to nine scales across the head. The eyes are large, flecked with yellow or gold, and surrounded by 10–15 circumorbital scales. The snake has 10–12 supra labials, the fourth and fifth of which are significantly larger. The eye is separated from the supra labials by three or four rows of sub oculars. Of the two pairs of chin shields, the front pair is notably enlarged. The two maxillary bones support at least two and at the most five or six pairs of fangs at a time: the first are active and the rest replacements. The fangs attain a length of 16.5 mm (0.65 in) in the average specimen.

The body is stout, the cross-section of which is rounded to circular. The dorsal scales are strongly keeled; only the lowest row is smooth. Mid-body, the dorsal scales number 27–33. The ventral scales number 153–180. The anal plate is not divided. The tail is short — about 14% of the total length — with the paired subcaudals numbering 41–68. 14.3 Habitat V. russelii is not restricted to any particular habitat, but does tend to avoid dense forests. The snake is mostly found in open, grassy or bushy areas, but may also be found in second growth forests (scrub jungles), on forested plantations and farmland. It is most common in plains, coastal lowlands, and hills of suitable habitat. Generally, it is not found at altitude, but has been reported as far up as 2300–3000 m (7,500-9,800 ft). Humid environments, such as marshes, swamps, and rain forests, are avoided.

This species is often found in highly urbanized areas and settlements in the countryside, the attraction being the rodent’s commensal with man. As a result, those working outside in these areas are most at risk of being bitten. V. russelii does not associate as closely with human habitation as Naja and Bungarus species (cobras and kraits). 14.4 Behaviour V. russelii is terrestrial and active primarily as a nocturnal forager. However, during cool weather, it alters its behaviour and becomes more active during the day. Adults are reported to be slow and sluggish unless pushed beyond a certain limit, after which they can become very aggressive. Juveniles, though, are generally more nervous.

When threatened, they form a series of S-loops, raise the first third of the body, and produce a hiss that is supposedly louder than that of any other snake. When striking from this position, they can exert so much force that even a large individual can lift most of its body off the ground in the process. These snakes are strong and may react violently to being picked up. The bite may be a snap, or they may hang on for many seconds.

Although this genus does not have the heat-sensitive pit organs common to the Crotalinae, it is one of a number of viperines that are apparently able to react to thermal cues, further supporting the notion that they, too, possess a heat-sensitive organ. The identity of this sensor is not certain, but the nerve endings in the supra nasal sac of these snakes resemble those found in other heat-sensitive organs. 14.5 Reproduction V. russelii is oviparous. Mating generally occurs early in the year, although pregnant females may be found at any time. The gestation period is more than six months. Young are produced from May to November, but mostly in June and July. It is a prolific breeder. Litters of 20–40 are common, although fewer offspring may occur, as few as one. The reported maximum is 75 in a single litter. At birth, juveniles are 215–260 mm (8.5–10.2 in) in total length. The minimum total length for a gravid female is about 100 cm (39 in). It seems that sexual maturity is achieved in 2–3 years. In one case, it took a specimen nearly 4.5 hours to give birth to 11 young. 14.6 Food Habit Found both in plains and moderate elevation up to approximately 4800ft; more common in plains. Distributed in variety of forests including rainforest, mixed, dry, moist deciduous forest, scrub lands, grassland, wetland etc. Habitat includes dry open lands, agricultural fields, open country, scrubs having low bushes, rocky terrain having mounds & vegetation etc. Hides in mounds, holes, piles, caves, cracks, dense leaf litters, dense vegetation etc. 14.7 Threats Road kill mortality, killing due to its venom potency and aggression on encounter with humans on field are two most commonly known threats. Illegal venom trade for various use including medical and research use is regularly noticed in parts of its range. In many parts of country it is exploited for skin and edible use. The species is listed as "Least Concern" by IUCN, as it's highly adaptable and widespread and abundant in human-modified habitats.

Figure 17: Rat Snake 15.1 Taxonomy Table 19: Taxonomical Classification of Rat Snake Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Class Reptilia Order Squamata Suborder Serpentes Family Colubridae

15.2 General Description In general, the dorsum of the Oriental Rat Snake is described as yellowish, greyish, olive to brown, posteriorly with black bands. The labial scales, chin and throat are whitish and framed black. The belly is whitish to yellowish or greenish. The posterior ventrals and subcaudals are edged black or show a black fleck resulting in a dotted row along the ventrals. In juveniles, the anterior body shows light pigmented bands or cross-bars on an overall faintly olive coloured body. Juveniles in at least parts of the range show a distinct, bright green colour.

Dhamans, though harmless to humans, are fast-moving, excitable snakes. In captivity individuals remain highly territorial and may continue to defend their turf aggressively, attempting to startle or strike at passing objects. Dhamans are diurnal and semiarboreal. They inhabit forest floors, wetlands, rice paddies, farmland, and suburban areas where they prey upon small reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Adults, unusually for a colubrid, prefer to subdue their prey by sitting on it rather than by constricting, using body weight to weaken prey. 15.3 Habitat Rat snakes occupy a wide variety of habitats including rocky timbered hills, hardwood forests, river floodplains and swamp margins. They are commonly found in abandoned buildings and barns and are often the most common large snake in suburban areas. 15.4 Food Habits Adult rat snakes primarily eat mice, rats, squirrels, and birds, as well as bird eggs. They are a common predator on wood duck eggs. Juveniles eat small frogs, lizards, and small rodents. Rat snakes are constrictors, and adept climbers that can scale brick walls as well as tree trunks. When frightened they often assume a “kinked” posture and remain motionless. They will vibrate the tail and expel malodorous musk. 15.5 Conservation Status Rat snakes are very common in the Southeast and are not protected throughout most of it.

16 Specific Conservation Measures in consultation with forest department

a) Plantation details and programs: Preferred roosting trees for the peacocks are Azadirachta indica, Prosopis juliflora, Albizia lebeck, Dalbergia sissoo, Mimusops elengi etc. The plantation of these trees would be specifically taken up in the Green belt area of the Project with consultation with forest department. b) Small earthen material lined water tanks will be created in the Core-zone Green area as well as select areas in the Buffer Zone to make sure availability of clean drinking water to the species. The availability of clean water will ensure a permanent stay of species in these areas. c) Awareness program: It will be ensured through regular awareness programs and through publicity by way of signages, posters, bill distributions, public meetings, announcements, student’s awareness sessions etc. d) Litter burning will be discouraged strictly. Litter burning practices destroy feeding material and removes the cover and nesting materials necessary for shelter and protection from predators. e) Dogs movement in the proposed project area will be controlled. Dogs have a detrimental effect on peafowl’s nesting and roaming behaviour. Dogs also lead to hardening the soil by decreasing the vegetation of the area through continuous roaming and sitting at the same place, thereby making a search for food more difficult for the species.

17 Project Budget The Proponent has proposed a sum of Rs 18 Lakhs for conservation of species under the following heads. The estimates are prepared for the project area in which many activities are common to all the species as mentioned in the relevant places in the estimates. The total financial plan is also specifically mentioned in the table below:

Table 20: Budget for conservation S.No. Component Provision (In Lakhs) Plantation of suitable species in the buffer area so 1 1.5 that the wild animals can reside with the forest Purchase and donation of rescue and rehabilitation 2 4.5 vehicle to Forest Department Awareness generation like in schools, setting up of 3 2 interpretation zones, etc for next five years. Construction of Khelis/ Water Holes in the 4 2 surroundings buffer area and regular filling of water Purchase and donation of night camera trap, GPS, 5 2 etc to Forest Department Total 12

1.4 OBJECTIVES OF DAMAGE ASSESSMENT • As per notification vide S.O. 804(E) dated 14.03.2017 it has been notified that the violation cases/non-Compliance will involve the assessment of ecological damage, remediation plan and natural and community resource augmentation plan. Hence, in this report, we have collected and analysed the data for assessment of environmental and ecological damage, prepared remediation plan, and natural and community resource augmentation plan. • To identify overall impact on air, water, noise, soil and land environment has been assessed. • It has been weighed against the positive impact created on the overall socioeconomic scenario. • To estimate the impact produced, a framework has been designed based on the place of activity is permissible for the purpose (like it should not fall in eco-sensitive zones etc.); Environmental Sensitivity; Status of work done till date and status of activities (in quantitative terms) undertaken during violation period and extent of damage. Detailed methodology for the same is given in the next section 2. 1.5 OBJECTIVES OF REMEDIATION PLAN • To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of air quality along with approximate cost • To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of noise quality along with approximate cost • To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of water quality along with approximate cost • Remediation plan of loss of top soil, loss of vegetation including trees and their approximate cost • To suggest control measures for keeping community safe from adverse effects of activity approximate cost • Plan and suggest Development of shelter of green belt to improve environment 1.6 NATURAL AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE AUGMENTATION PLAN: Augmentation plan will include various activities to be taken for augmentation of Natural Resources like water, land vegetative cover in a time bound manner and estimation of financial implication. Activities to be taken for augmentation of community resources. The key community resources include — • It could be a physical structure or place -- a school, hospital, library, recreation center. It might also be an unused building that could house a community center, a community owned forest, a park, a pond, or other pasture and open space belonging to community. • It may be a community service that makes life better for majority of community members - public transportation, early childhood education center, community recycling facilities, cultural organization. • Or an activity that provides jobs and supports the local economy.

2 METHODOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT To assess the overall damage, two matrices have been used, the first matrix identifies and assesses impact on different environmental components and is based on the actual damage incurred i.e. Assessment type ‘A’. Therefore, the first matrix is a systematic approach on envisaged damage incurred. The second matrix i.e. Assessment type ‘B’ assumes random damages that would have taken place due to interaction of different environmental components, i.e. the overall end to end assessment being done in a subjective matrix manner. To assess the impact on these environmental parameters, following activities has been identified: • Site Preparation & levelling • Excavation • Compacting and other related work • Construction of foundation and basement • Construction of super structure • Finishing work of wall, painting, stone cladding, Tiling work • Storage and handling of Construction material, paint & chemicals • Operation of construction of machinery (DG ser, Heavy machinery) • Transportation (Raw material, labour) • Working & daily activity of construction labour

2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT WISE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY (ASSESSMENT A): • Table below shows the component wise methodology considered for assessment to quantify extent of damage and rate the extent for estimation of remediation cost. Based on the same, impact analysis, mitigation plan is prepared and finally the overall damage has been scaled between 0-100%. To assess these environmental parameters, team has been deputed to assess preliminary assessment of damage to environment. Based on site inspection and the documentary evidences the environmental aspects vs activity has been filled. Component Adopted Methodology Weightage
