Recent declines in large herbivores have led to significant conservation efforts globally. However, the niche-specific megaherbivores residing outside protected areas face more imminent extinction threats. Swamp deer, obligate grassland-dwelling endemic cervid is most extinction-prone megaherbivore Indian subcontinent. Limited information on distribution and habitat status pose management challenges for remaining fragmented populations north, north-east central India. To this end, we...

Summary Grassland habitats currently face severe anthropogenic exploitation, thereby affecting the survival of grassland-dependent biodiversity globally. The biodiversity-rich grasslands India lack quantitative spatiotemporal information on their status. We evaluated status upper Gangetic Plains in 2015 and compared it with those from 1985, 1995 2005. On-ground mapping visual classifications revealed a 57% decline these between 1985 (418 km 2 ) (178 ), mostly driven by habitat conversion...

Abstract Grassland habitats currently face severe anthropogenic exploitations leading to cascading effects on the survival of grassland-dependent biodiversity globally, particularly in non-protected areas. Significant amount such biodiversity-rich grasslands India are found outside protected areas but lack quantitative information their status. We evaluated current and historical (30 years) status using a combination intensive field surveys GIS tools across one most fertile, human-dominated...
