WILD SPECIES

The Wild Species programme is conceptualized as a species and behavioral ecology skill unit of WTI .

The main objective of this program is to initiate long term projects that mitigate human-wildlife conflict and help recovery of populations of species in India defined as threatened by IUCN. It also conducts essential conservation surveys that generate information on the species and their habitats.

Its major aims are:

  • To undertake species specific recovery projects that may reduce the number of species which are Red- listed as endangered.
  • To conduct projects that help reinstate species in their previous range by re-introduction, restocking or boost numbers in an area with low numbers, thereby assisting in their recovery.
  • To conduct projects that mitigate human-wildlife conflict and thus increase prospects of species survival in the area.
  • To generate information on the species that lack baseline information crucial for subsequent conservation work through short term surveys.

To fulfill these aims and objectives the wild species programme has incorporated the following thematic divisions;

These divisions would study, review and take appropriate steps in critical wildlife areas to mitigate threats of endangered species, human-wildlife conflicts and bridging information gaps.

Wild Species seeks to provide holistic species recovery programme, species reintroduction, conservation breeding, conflict mitigation, land use planning (Eco-development), problem management and surveys.
