Nilgiri tahr occurs on a mere 5% area of Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot in India. The total population is around 2,000. Eravikulam National Park (ENP) in Kerala, in the southern Western Ghats, harbour 760 tahr and its immediate surrounding around 150. This gives ENP a special place in Nilgiri tahr conservation. Kerala is a thickly populated state where human welfare often gets overriding preference over that of wildlife. This makes managing the ENP a difficult task. Involving local people in conservation becomes an imperative. The authorities of ENP have left no stone unturned in their effort to involve local people in conservation. Eco-tourism was used as an effective driver in the efforts. This paper highlights the denouement of community participation in the conservation of Nilgiri tahr in ENP. Key words: Nilgiri tahr, endangered, Eravikulam National Park, Western Ghats, community involvement. RESUMEN Participación de la comunidad local en la conservación: estudio de un caso de gestión del thar de Nilgiri (Nilgiritragus hylocrius) en el Parque Nacional de Eravikulam, Kerala, India El thar de Nilgiri (Nilgiritragus hylocrius) es un ungulado de montaña que está en la Lista Roja de la UICN de especies amenazadas.
