The survival of wildlife depends on multiple factors which influence and facilitate their persistence in a region. Under current conditions of a fast-paced changing environment that threaten wildlife, conservation efforts should be tailor-made based for long-term persistence and survival of these animals.
With rapidly declining populations, identifying the current distribution and extinction probabilities of large mammals is integral to future conservation efforts. a team of scientists led by Dr. Krithi Karanth from Centre for Wildlife Studies conducted research on 25 large mammals found in India.
In a landmark publication, CWS Scientists have authored a review publication on tiger population monitoring in the Malenad region of India. The study exemplifies the trials and error of tiger conservation in India, over six mega-projects from 1986 to 2017 under the Malenad Tiger Program (MTP).
A team of scientists from the Centre for Wildlife Studies, Princeton University and the Nelson Institute, surveyed 30 Arabica and 31 Robusta farms to analyze the abundance of endemic, forest-dependent and IUCN red-list species of birds. This study was among the first to assess the avian diversity and abundance within the two types of coffee farms.
Agroforestry systems such as coffee farms have been shown to support incredible biodiversity including mammals, birds, butterflies and amphibians.
Scientists examine the impact of infrastructure on forest connectivity across India, and recommend that conservation of biodiversity be incorporated into planning.

This study provides crucial information to decide ‘where’ and ‘how’ future infrastructure development activities should be undertaken in India, with the optimal balancing of development and biodiversity-conservation.
