Symposium on Science & Stewardship to Protect & Sustain Symposium on Science & Stewardship to Protect & Sustain Wilderness Values: Session Abstracts Special Session on protecting and restoring socio-ecological systems in the Eastern Himalayas: Manas National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the border between India and Bhutan. Part 1. A Difficult History Names and affiliations: Trishita Shandilya, PG student, Studying Masters in Sociology from Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi Title of presentation/panel/round table discussion: “Women’s perspectives on wilderness and protected areas and struggle to identify their own space in wilderness” Some observations from neighborhood village of Manas National Park of Assam, India Format: Oral presentation ABSTRACT: Women of ecosystem-based traditional societies are usually deprived of their choice and priorities when an ecosystem is pulled into a new policy regime. This study focuses on understanding the values and perceptions that women of fringe villages carry towards a National Park and how their life is influenced by the park. In a patriarchal social structure, women are ascribed to be the nurturer of the family, and in the ecosystem based traditional social milieu, this ascribed role brings the woman folks closer to nature. Collecting vegetables, herbs, fetching water, engaging in developing kitchen/homestead garden, etc. facilitates a constant interaction with nature for women. These interactions create a multifaceted relation of dependency between nature and humans, specifically between woman and nature. This presentation carries the everydayness of women's life living in the fringe area of a National Park and their intimacy with the forest emotionally, socially and economically. Women's regular journey to the forest does not suffice only the material needs, but acts as an emotional support system in their lives. The journey to the forest brings a break from their usual monotonous routines and gives the scope to escape from their ascribed social positioning and discover the self by enjoying the wilderness. In visiting the forest as an all women group, the space acts as the backstage where women share their sufferings and life events while engaging into the performance of ascribed roles in the front stage that is in village social milieu. Thereby, for women in fringe villages, the forest is the space for them to share experiences of being in a hegemonic patriarchal milieu.

Lahkar (Beltola Tiniali, Guwahati, Assam, India) Title of presentation/panel/round table discussion: Hog deer never hogged the limelight: understanding the drivers of population density in the Terai grasslands to inform conservation management Format: Oral presentation ABSTRACT: Hog deer (Axis porcinus) is an endangered cervid that underwent a range-wide decline, largely unnoticed. Assam, in northeast India is one of the strongholds of hog deer population in South Asia. Nonetheless, it is also one of the least focused on mammals of the region and its effective conservation strategies hinge on understanding of ecological and anthropogenic correlates. We therefore assessed the current status of hog deer in Assam and investigated the influence of different factors on hog deer population density in one of the high conservation value landscapes- Manas National Park. Manas had an abundant hog deer population prior to armed conflict, but the conflict resulted in a depressed hog deer population. With the cessation of the conflict, conservation measures are implemented, but mostly directed towards the charismatic species. This led to paucity of information on hog deer and its conservation needs remain unaddressed. As precise information on population density and identification of the factors that influence it is crucial to implementing any conservation action; we estimated hog deer density using distance sampling techniques. We used generalised linear modelling technique to test the effect of various habitat and anthropogenic variables. The estimated hog deer density is 18.22 ± 3.32 km-2. Imperata grass and fire occurrence have significant positive affect on hog deer population density, whereas, it is negatively affected by the abundance of invasive plants and Mikania, and human presence. Our results suggest that proper habitat management is of utmost necessity to ensure hog deer conservation. Furthermore, protected areas are crucial for hog deer conservation in the region.

Karbi and Bodo. The JFL by Karbi community is centered around the Kohora River Basin in the Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong Landscape while that of Bodo community is centered around the Manas National Park in the Indo-Bhutan landscape. Ethnopolitical and armed conflicts for decades on both the sites has led to a poor economy and stressed livelihoods while government livelihood schemes barely touched them. The concept of JFL was developed with local people’s perception of tourism in the area. In both cases, the communities have been deprived of the famous tourism economy of Kaziranga and Manas. The JFL package was developed with learning modules introducing Bio-culturalism and traditional ecological knowledge of communities. It primarily targets postgraduate students and youth around the globe. Following the first experience, the confidence of the hosts increased due to the economic and social benefit gathered from visitors in the form of learning a new language, customs and cultural systems of different guests. The experiences helped in realizing the importance and value of their own culture and social ethos that sensitized their consciences to conserve cultural systems linked to local wilderness and ecosystems. This paper shares the processes and operational modalities of JFL, reflects on the principles of community-based eco- cultural tourism, its impact on people’s economic benefits, livelihood security and on ecosystem restoration through values linked to their socio-cultural practices.

We investigated the distribution pattern of Chromolaena odorata and Mikania micrantha and factors governing their spread in grassland of Manas World Heritage Site. We carried out extensive field sampling and model the distribution of invasives using a suite of algorithms. Model predictions differed with respect to AUC, sensitivity, specificity and TSS range largely in classification performance. Final risk maps were produced averaging the scores of RF and MaxEnt for both species. Proximity to road and human settlement, elevation, fire occurrence and precipitation of driest quarter were the key predictors for both invasives. Since the present probable areas in which invasives are likely to invade indicates that the majority of significant wildlife habitats will be affected and altered in the near future, invasion risk maps can be used as an early detection tool for the management of invasive species, which could help in minimizing the ecological significance and economic cost of invasions. To control the spread of invasives, experimental plots with three different treatments- uprooting of invasive, cutting of invasive and cutting and burning of invasive were set up in the grasslands of Manas. The manual uprooting of invasive was identified as the best method of control. We established a surveillance system and helped in reporting the occurrence of Mimosa spp. for the first time in Manas.

Kochi - 682 018, Kerala, India e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A new species of Harpadon Lesueur, 1825 captured from the continental slope area 19° 53’ N - 69° 23’E (north-eastern Arabian Sea) is described. The species Harpadon nudus sp. nov. was identified possessing a prominent trilobed caudal fin and a wide mouth with strong fang like barbed teeth and has been distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: slender, completely scaleless body with very short pectoral (8.6 - 13.8% SL) and pelvic (16.4 - 21.6% SL) fins, large eyes (9.1 - 15.1% HL) with narrow inter-orbital width (15% of HL) and single pair of nares, situated close to the tip of the narrow snout. Morphologically it differs from the partially scaled species such as Harpadon nehereus in having very short pectoral fins not reaching up to its dorsal fin, single pair of nares and a pointed snout in dorsal view. It can be distinguished from Harpadon microchir by its greater head length of 22 - 26% SL; absence of scales at the base of the adipose fin and on the lateral line as well as the dorsal fin count of 12 rays. It is differentiated from Harpadon mortenseni by its lower lateral line pores count (40 - 43), higher number of branchiostegals (17 to 20), absence of scales on the lateral line or caudal peduncle and absence of vomerine teeth.

These sponges are small, growing up to 5 cm in total length, and are tube- shaped and often white to cream in colour. The surface is hairy and spiky tufts of stiff spicules surround the osculum. 3 SpongillaSpongilla n Kingdom: Animalia n Phylum: Porifera n Class: Demospongiae n Order: Haplosclerida n Genus: Spongilla n General Characteristics: Spongilla dwells in lakes and slow streams. Spongilla attach themselves to rocks and logs and filter the water for various small aquatic organisms such as protozoa, bacteria, and other free-floating pond life. fresh-water sponges are exposed to far more adverse and variable environmental conditions, and therefore they have developed gemmules as a means of dormancy. When exposed to excessively cold or otherwise harsh situations, the sponges form these gemmules, which are highly resistant "buds" that can live dormantly after the mother sponge has died. When conditions improve, the gemmules will "germinate" and a new sponge is born. 4 Phylum Coelenterata 5 JellyJelly fishfish n Kingdom: Animalia n Phylum: Coelentrata n Subphylum: Medusozoa n Class: Scyphozoa n Order: Semaeostomeae n Genus: Aurelia n General Characteristics: Jellyfish are free-swimming members.

Unless an appropriate management performed, an ever increasing in exploitation of this synodontid species will threat its population sustainability. A research was conducted from March 2013 to February 2014 in Tarakan waters aiming to investigate on growth and exploitation rate of the Bombay duck. Three sampling sites were determined for the purpose of sample collection. Fish was collected by a trawl of 1: 2: 2 cm in mesh size, towed for 30 minutes at each sub-station. On board, approximately 50 individual fishes of various size were randomly collected. In total, 1051 fishes were collected consisting of 544 males and 507 females. Data of length-weight relationships was used in analyzing individual growth, whereas length was for length frequency distribution in order to calculate population growth. The results showed that the Bombay duck growth was allometrically negative in station 2 and 3, whereas isometric in station 1.
