Subject: MAMMALS - EXEC SUM & ENDEMIC LIST
access the information we have given you and far more in future through the
following URL http://members.xoom.com/ZOOIndia.ibliographies.html Thanks to our benefactor -
we simply couldn't have done this without him.
Today I will send Mammals. This may have to be in three or four parts like
Reptiles.
For Mammals I would like it known that Mr. Nameer Ommer of the Kerala
Agricultural University assisted us with the check list of mammals when we
began preparing for the workshop and found that S.H. Prater had not been
truly updated for many years (since 1971). Nameer took a course at the
Chicago Field Museum and selected mammals of India as his project. Using
the last published lists, e.g. (Corbet & Hill, 1992) and (Wilson & Reeder,
1993) he prepared a CHECKLIST OF INDIAN MAMMALS. Our CAMP workshop relied
on this list as a starting point but the field biologists attending also
input information and made changed which helped Nameer. Nameer is
publishing the checklist as a book along with much interesting historical
information about listing Indian mammals. This is not published as yet. We
are publishing it and will share it on the web IF Nameer permits.
Mammals of India, Hosted and Sponsored by the Centre for Ecological
Sciences, I.I.Sc., Bangalore
25 - 29 August, 1997
Biodiversity Conservation Prioritisation Project Conservation Assessment and
Management Plan (C.A.M.P.) Workshops (WWF, India)
Organised and Facilitated by Zoo Outreach Organisation/CBSG, India
Coordinated by Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History (SACON)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
BE SURE TO ACCESS YOUR PREVIOUS EMAILS OR THE WEB SITE FOR BACKGROUND AND
INSTRUCTIONS ON USING THE IUCN RED LIST CRITERIA.
SUMMARY REPORT
Indian mammals, which are about 430 taxa in number have a fair
representation of endemics. Nearly fifteen percent (15%) of the assessed
mammals are endemic to India. The total endemic taxa may not be
significantly more than this because all of the known endemics were assessed
at the workshop. Western Ghats is the richest region in India with respect
to endemic mammals. Fourteen taxa are endemic to this biogeographic region
with a few more taxa sharing their distribution with adjacent areas.
Northern India is home to 7 endemic mammals, while northeastern India, which
has a very high diversity does not have many endemics within the Indian
context because of the jagged political boundary of the country. Though
restricted in their distribution in this region, locations of many mammals
are found outside India thereby making them Indian political non-endemics.
Andaman and Nicobar islands are home to 9 rare mammal species, mostly bats,
rats and shrews. A graph depicting mammalian distribution is given in the
main report.
Thirty-five endemic taxa and 83 non-endemic mammals are threatened according
to the assessment at the workshop, based on the 1994 IUCN Red list
categories. A high percentage of endemic taxa are threatened due to
restricted distribution along with other man-induced threats to their
wellbeing. Larger mammals are fairly well studied but the smaller mammals
are poorly studied since information regarding distribution, population
dynamics and threats are incomplete and most of the information available is
from only a few well studied locations. Threats perceived to Indian mammals
are habitat destruction, fragmentation, agricultural practices, pollution,
pesticides and other kinds of human interference. Trade is also a
contributing factor in threatening 65 mammalian taxa in India.
Categorisation of taxa was done according to the 1994 IUCN Red Liast
categories. For a taxon to be threatened, any one of the five criteria
within the categories has to be satisfied. These criteria or factors that
are used in a categorisation of threat are 1. Population reduction; 2.
Restricted distribution; 3. Population estimates; 4. Restricted population
and 5 Probability of extinction. The degree of threat depending on each or
any of these five criteria determines the threat category.
One of the major outcomes of this workshop was the post-assessment research
and management recommendations for every mammal taxon. Participants
identified lacunae areas that need prioritisation and this is indicated in
the recommendation section. Survey and monitoring are the most frequently
recommended research and management tools for understanding distribution and
trends of reptile populations. The workshop was also an ideal forum to
discuss controversial issues such as taxonomy and nomenclature of Indian
mammals. There is still considerable confusion in the lower mammalian
taxonomy, which was discussed at the workshop in the worksing groups.
Special issue working groups were convened to formally discuss some of the
issues participants felt the need for discussion in such a forum. Four
special issue working groups formed were 1. Marine mammals, 2. Indian
Wildlife Protection Act, 3. Data Deficient species and 4. IUCN categories
and its application to mammals with suggestions for improvement and
recommendations in each of the topics. However, it was appreciated that
most of the biologists were able to discuss those issues within their
working groups while assessing the status. It was also felt that a need for
a network to identify and bring together reptile researchers in and around
India required urgent action. Complete report of the working groups and
commitments by the participants in mammal conservation are appended to the
main report.

Habitat: Mixed forest with dense bamboo undergrowth. Global Distribution:
Nepal, Bhutan, India, Myanmar (260-280 N, 950 -980 E). Current Regional
Distribution: Eastern Indian Himalaya . -Elevation: 1500-4000 m. -Range
(Sq. Km): > 20,000. -Area Occupied (Sq. Km): < 2,000. -Number of location:
Many; Fragmented/patchy (Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, North Bengal, Garo Hills
in Meghalaya) . Population Trends - % change: -% Decline: Declining. -Time
/ Rate (Yrs or gens): Not known. -No of Mature Individuals: Not known.
Global Population: Not known. Regional Population: Not known. Data Quality:
General Field study; Informal study; Indirect information. Recent Field
Studies: K. Kashmera, 1996 in Arunachal Pradesh; S. Pradhan ongoing in
Singhalila National Park. Threats: Hunting; Loss of habitat Loss of habitat
because of fragmentation; Trade. Trade: International; Commercial. Other
Comments: Live animals used to be captured for captivity and pet trade.

studies; Life history studies. -PHVA: Yes, after more detailed studies.
Captive Breeding Recommendations: -Captive breeding: Level 1. -Level of
difficulty: Moderately difficult. Existing Captive Population: 5.6.0 =11 in
Indian zoos and 90.116.16 =222 in Zoos abroad. There is a well-monitored
international programme in place with an International Red Panda Group
initiating, sponsoring and conducting naming and education. Darjeeling zoo
is very much part of these activities and has a plan for other Himalayan
zoos to participate when captive born animals become available. -Name of
