Under the leadership of Dr. K. Ullas Karanth, CWS has conducted path-breaking research on the ecology and population dynamics of tigers, leopards, elephants and other Indian large mammals. Our tiger project which originated in Nagarahole (and grew to several parks across India) is the world’s longest running big cat project in the world- with over 800 individual tigers identified.
CWS has been a leader in the fields of radio-telemetry, advanced field survey methods, animal population modelling and estimation. Our contributions to wildlife science include methodologies for:
1. Safe capture and immobilisation of wild tigers and leopards
2. Occupancy sampling, development of innovative models and protocols for matching stripe/spot patterns
3. Genetic identification of individual tigers and bio-geographic taxonomy of tigers
CWS research has carved out a unique niche for itself globally, combining rigorous field-based research with innovative methods to produce over 70 peer-reviewed scientific publications on tigers (40% of all peer-reviewed scientific papers published) and more than 150 papers on wildlife conservation and ecology. CWS has collaborated and shared its expertise with many wildlife research and conservation projects in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Russia, Thailand, as well as African and Latin American countries.
