Ecological and Anthropogenic Correlates of Large Carnivore Occupancy in the Sahyadri-Konkan Corridor

Quantify the ecological and anthropogenic correlates of occupancy for tigers, leopards, dholes and sloth bears in the Sahyadri-Konkan Corridor to generate a scientifically rigorous estimate of species distribution. Activities include identifying habitat variables underlying occupancy and critical sites for interventions, disseminating the results of the research to various stakeholders, and supporting efforts to conserve threatened species through management plans.
