| Volume IV - Garo Hills Conservation Area | |
| 2002 Full Book | |
This report is volume three of a six volume management guide. The Volume I addresses the conceptual and scientific basis of the approach, and would be of use to any manager or researcher entrusted with such an approach anywhere. Volume II is on wildlife habitat relationships and includes a framework for how to evaluate multiple wildlife species simultaneously, and narrative summaries of life histories of 184 wildlife species selected to represent various criteria of rarity, endemism, management focus, habitat associations and others. Volumes III to VI are intensive case studies of four "Conservation Areas" selected across India to represent a great diversity of ecological conditions, CA histories, cultural situations, and management challenges. Volume III treats Anaimalai Conservation Area, Volume IV treats Garo Hills Conservation Area, Volume V treats Satpura Conservation Area, and Volume VI treats Terai Conservation Area. The case study reports all follow the same basic structure: introduction / general description of the area; flora; fauna; social and economic situation; conclusion and management implications. The present report states that 7 cat species are present in Garo Hills. It specifically lists tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, jungle cat and leopard cat as present in Garo Hills. [Note: Presumably, the Asiatic golden cat is / was also present in the area, as Table 3.4 Common wild mammals in proposed Balpakram Wildlife Sanctuary during 1981 census lists _Felis temmincki_ although it gives jungle cat as the corresponding common name. Elsewhere in the text, the jungle cat is listed as _Felis chaus_.] |
