Globally, biodiversity is declining due to habitat loss and degradation, over-exploitation, climate change, invasive species, pollution, infrastructure development. These threats affect the populations of large waterbird such as Sarus crane (
Abstract Large carnivores such as leopards ( Panthera pardus ) experience continuing threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, depletion of prey populations, retaliatory killing following conflicts with humans. We aimed to identify factors affecting leopard occupancy temporal overlap between tigers P. tigris ), their major prey, human activities in the Parsa‐Koshi Complex (PKC), Nepal. deployed 154 cameras for 21 days each along wildlife trails throughout PKC during December 2022–March...
In this study, wavelet analysis and traditional cross-correlation (TCA) have been employed to explore the temporal characteristics of Air Quality Index (AQI) (PM2.5) its relationships with meteorological factors, air temperature, rainfall in capital city Nepal, Kathmandu, during 2017 - 2020. The variation monthly averaged (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) revealed that quality was unhealthy winter, improved summer, subsequently became again autumn spring. We also noticed lowest AQI recorded...
The Nepalese government announced a nationwide lockdown beginning on March 24, 2020 as an attempt to restrain the spread of COVID-19. prohibition in flight operations and movement vehicles, factory shutdowns restriction people's due led significant reduction amounts pollutants degrading air quality many countries. present study aimed analyze changes particulate matter (PM) emissions index (AQI) six cities Nepal i.e., Damak, Simara, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Nepalgunj Surkhet response COVID-19...
Abstract Co-occurrence and spatial temporal overlap of sympatric jungle leopard cats are influenced by habitat preferences, interspecific competition. Understanding these factors influence is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. We conducted a camera survey in Parsa‒Koshi Complex (PKC), Nepal during December 2022–March 2023 to investigate influencing occupancy between ( Felis chaus ) Prionailurus bengalensis ). The mean detection probability t = 0.664, p 0.507) did not...
Abstract Understanding factors associated with coexistence of human and wildlife in human‐dominated landscapes is crucial for effective species conservation. Among the species, sloth bears Melursus ursinus are found both inside outside protected areas Nepal, increasing cases bear conflicts areas. This highlights necessity a comprehensive understanding anthropogenic ecological that affect occurrence bear. The these important its conservation through establishing management action plan. We...
Abstract The rate of hydropower dam construction on rivers is increasing in emerging economies South Asia, to achieve economic development goals. These large infrastructure projects are likely have many negative consequences freshwater species but not yet received much consideration. Among small mammalian species, water shrews seriously impacted by these structures. This paper aims determine if been considered during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) hydro project sites, as well...
