Understanding Suitable Habitats and Anthropogenic Mortality Risks for King Cobras in Nepal
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), a vulnerable species, faces significant habitat loss and mortality risks in Nepal. Using ensemble modeling with 553 occurrence records, this study identified 23,702.62 km2 of suitable habitat, projecting up to 22% habitat loss by 2050 under SSP2‐4.5 climate scenarios.
