Understanding the Response of Wild Ungulate Prey to Livestock Mediated Competition in Western Terai Arc Landscape – Implications for Developing Management Strategies to Restore Corridors

The proposed study will assess the status of wild ungulate prey in western Terai Arc Landscape (between Yamuna and Gola Rivers), which includes the protected areas of Rajaji National Park and Corbett Tiger Reserve along with intervening reserve forests. This project will aid the management in developing well-informed and socially responsible strategies to restore wild prey to ensure long-term viability of corridors across the landscape.
