Kaziranga National Park Publishes First Scientific Report on Greater Hog Badger

A collaborative study utilizing camera traps was carried out by the Tiger Cell of Kaziranga National Park in association with the Wildlife Conservation Trust and The Fishing Cat Project.

This research aims to enhance the understanding of wildlife populations and their habitats within Kaziranga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its significant biodiversity, including the world’s largest population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses. The study focuses particularly on the elusive fishing cat, an important species for maintaining the ecological balance in wetlands.

The use of camera traps allows for non-invasive monitoring of various species, providing valuable data on their behaviors, population dynamics, and interactions with their environment. This initiative is part of broader conservation efforts to protect endangered wildlife and their habitats in the region, which face challenges from poaching and habitat degradation.

Further findings from the study will contribute to ongoing conservation strategies and inform future research initiatives aimed at preserving the unique biodiversity of Kaziranga National Park.
