Climate change has always been there for ages, both globally and regionally, and its duration ranges from years to many millennia. Before the human intervention there was a substantial variation in climate due to the natural factors only, after the combined contribution of both natural and human factors the situation started getting worse1 . The […]

Welcome back. Today at Think Wildlife Foundation we are going to address a positive and a successful story of how we humans saved an excellent climber “The Alpine Ibex” from the brink of extinction. We always talk about how wildlife is in the danger, how some species are in the danger some are on the

Lions are one of the most charismatic species on the earth. At the present moment, the formerly continuously distributed lion species has already been eradicated from major Middle Eastern countries as well as from the Americas and Europe. Only 20, 000 wild lions remain in Africa. In fact, lions have already become a threatened species.

Invasive species or exotic species or introduced species are organisms that are non-native to a geographical region that disrupts the ecological balance of the system it colonizes. The reason behind their widespread reproduction and rapid colonization of habitat is the absence of a natural predator in the region that they have invaded. Therefore, there are

The breaking of large, contiguous, forested areas into smaller pieces of the forest is forest fragmentation. These pieces are usually separated by roads, agriculture, utility corridors, subdivisions, or other human development. Fragmentation is a matter of concern primarily because of its impact on the conservation of biological diversity. It affects the size and quality of

India bears one of the most unique amphibian megafauna in the world despite not being recognised as such on a global scale. About 156 new endemic amphibian species have been discovered in India since 2000, with an average of 10 new species every year. The count and conservation of these endemic species weren’t taken too

Tripura is one of the seven states in North East India. It is surrounded by deltaic basins on three sides. The Tropic of Cancer passes through this hilly state. The state has diverse ecosystems that range from freshwater wetlands to grasslands and forests. It is located in the bio-geographic zone and is extremely rich in

Biodiversity is recognized to be of global importance, yet species and habitats continue to beunder increasing pressure from human-induced influences. Mineral resources exist in significant biodiversity areas, and conservation priorities (Butt et al. 2013). Therefore, biodiversity is under constant threat from mining. Future changes in mineral supply and demand will probably shift threats towards biodiverse regions

John Goodrich serves as the Chief Scientist for Panthera. He talks about his experiences with tiger conservation. Having spent 27 years as a wild cat scientist, I have been fortunate to run my fingers through the coarse fur of a 170 kg tiger while wrapping a GPS collar around its neck. Even better luck, I’ve lived
