Habitat and Anthropogenic Determinants of Chinese Pangolin (<i>Manis pentadactyla</i>) Burrow Occupancy in Udayapur, Eastern Nepal: Implications for Site-Specific Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
ABSTRACT Chinese pangolins are found from lowlands to mid‐hills in Nepal and are increasingly vulnerable to extinction due to extensive illegal trade and habitat fragmentation, particularly outside the protected areas network. The information about their ecological preferences in human‐dominated landscapes beyond protected areas is essential for ...

Pangolin Distribution and Predicted Habitat Loss From the Nagmati Dam in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, Nepal. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Chinese pangolin burrows in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park showed a clumped distribution influenced by slope and NDVI. The proposed Nagmati Dam and reservoir will inundate key pangolin habitats, causing significant habitat loss. The environmental impact assessment of the dam ignored these threats, highlighting the need for urgent reassessment to ...
