Conservation Research

Project Nilgiri Tahr conducts comprehensive scientific research to understand the behavior, ecology, and habitat requirements of this endangered species, providing crucial data for effective conservation strategies.

Habitat Restoration

Through Project Nilgiri Tahr initiatives, we restore degraded grasslands and forest corridors, removing invasive species and replanting native vegetation to create sustainable habitats for the Nilgiri Tahr population.

Community Engagement

Project Nilgiri Tahr works closely with local tribal communities and stakeholders, fostering conservation awareness and developing sustainable livelihood programs that benefit both people and wildlife.

Monitoring & Protection

Our Project Nilgiri Tahr team implements advanced monitoring techniques including radio collaring and camera trapping to track population dynamics and ensure the safety of these magnificent mountain goats.

Research & Documentation

Systematic documentation of Nilgiri Tahr populations, breeding patterns, and environmental factors affecting their survival through advanced research methodologies and scientific studies.

Policy & Advocacy

Working with government agencies and conservation organizations to develop and implement effective policies for Nilgiri Tahr protection and Western Ghats ecosystem conservation.

BIENNIAL SYNCHRONISED SURVEY

Coordinated, synchronized surveys would help in delineating the actual distributional areas, current population, evaluating conservation challenges and getting an effective population enumeration.

TRANQUILIZATION AND COLLARING

Radio collaring helps to understand the animal movement pattern, habitat use, home range and behaviour of the collared individuals across the divisions.

REINTRODUCTION AND MONITORING

Reintroduced populations would be extensively monitored to understand the adaptation and challenges in the process.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

Based on the pathological analysis and diagnostics for abnormal swellings, suggested preventive measures, treatment plans could be adopted for the affected animals across various divisions

SHOLA GRASSLAND RESTORATION PILOT

Grassland restoration work involving removal of invasive species and planting of native Grass species in Nilgiri Tahr habitats which lead to substantial improvements in the hydrology of the region.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ECO-TOURISM PROGRAMMES

These eco-tourism centres will enable the students and public to understand the conservation significance and ecological importance of the endemic mammal, Nilgiri tahr.

COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH

Outreach programmes shall be organized to exhibit the conservation value of this species at educational institutions, media and among citizens hence leading to the successful community-based conservation of Nilgiri Tahr.
