Introducing the first conceptual framework and testable hypotheses for land tenure in territorial carnivores, highlighting its role in population stability and responses to environmental change. It’s time to bring land tenure into the spotlight of carnivore ecology and conservation. @Kanfeline @sumankoley94 @shaheerkhan @thewild_dodo @wii_india @bhlab_india @wildwithwolves Read at : besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… #carnivoreecology #wildlifeconservation #landtenure #ecology

Speed talk by Kanishka : From territory to conservation: exploring how land tenure reveals population dynamics and environmental pressures in territorial carnivores. Our framework highlights how land tenure can inform population stability, habitat protection, and conservation management. @moefcc @wii_india @SACONCoimbatore @GobindsagarBha1 @RuchiBadola2 @MahaForest @bhlab_india @wildwithwolves @paragnigam09 @Kanfeline @sumankoley94 @shaheerkhan @thewild_dodo #WII #WildlifeResearch #ars2026

Into the Wild - carrying with them a quiet promise. A promise that every step they take, every hunt, every unseen journey through forests and grasslands will now help us understand their elusive lives a little better. Collaring is not an end, but a beginning. A bridge between science and survival. Through these tiny signals, we hope to learn how they move, how they share space, how they persist against odds we rarely see. Knowledge that can shape better protection, safer landscapes, and a future where wild dogs continue to thrive in the wild - not just in stories. As they disappear back into the wilderness, we watch with humility, hope, and deep respect. Run free. Teach us gently. We are listening. @bhlab_india @wii_india @GobindsagarBha1 @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @JagtapPiyusha @MahaForest

Amazing...
From the first cam collar: a breathtaking journey of leopard from the ridge top, weaving through human dominated habitats and pausing at an eye-teasing waterbody. Every frame a story, every step a revelation. This is what the wild sees—and now, so do we. @wii_india @moefcc @vrtiwari1 @SPYadavIFS @rameshpandeyifs @bhlab_india @IBCA_official @ntca_india @GobindsagarBha1 @Kumar9Ankit @MahaForest

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Ganges River Dolphins – Ms Gargi Roy Chowdhury highlighted that vessel noise alters Ganges River dolphin echolocation. The study recommends speed regulation (4-6 km/h) and engine modifications to reduce noise pollution, emphasizing its importance for future dolphin conservation. @Ganga Dolphin Acoustic Recording @Impact of Vessel Traffic @Speed Regulation in Waterways. @moefcc @vrtiwari1 @V_Kolipakam, @CAMPA_Dolphin, @WII_India

Captured an incredible moment at the waterhole—countless sambar deer gathering in perfect harmony with nature. Their grace and calm remind us of the beauty and importance of wildlife conservation. #WildlifeMoments #Sambar #Conservation #Nature @bhlab_india @wii_india @vrtiwari1 @MahaForest @ntca_india @paragnigam09 @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @Moochwala_Patil
