The Tamil Nadu government has launched a three-day survey for conservation of Nilgiri Tahar.
The main objective of this survey is to better understand and conserve the Nilgiri Tahr.
The survey is being supported by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and IUCN organizations.
The Nilgiri tahr is listed as an endangered species and faces the challenges of habitat loss and poaching.
In the conservation initiative, captive breeding programmes in Eravikulam and Mukurthy National Parks are being supported.
There is a need for collaboration between state governments, conservation organizations, and research institutions so that the Nilgiri Tahar can be effectively conserved.
The main threat to the population of the Nilgiris tahr is habitat loss due to deforestation and human activities.
Poaching and competition with livestock are also important challenges for the conservation of this species.
