Large mammal census exercise was conducted in Kishtwar High Altitude National Park to estimate their populations using Belt Transect Count approach. For seven common species of large mammals, the densities (number of animals/ 2 km ) estimated from our survey were 0.2 mean ± 0.1 95% CI (Red deer, Cervus elaphus hanglu), 0.18 mean ± 0.04 95% CI (Musk deer Cervus chrysogaster), 1.73 mean ± 0.56 95% CI (Goral, Nemorhaedus goral), 1.76 mean ± 0.24 95% CI (Himalayan ibex, Capra ibex), 3.45 mean ± 1.79 95% CI (Common langur, Semnopithecus entellus), 7.1 mean ± 0.69 95% CI (Rhesus macaque, Macaca mulatta) and 0.29 mean ± 0.04 95% CI (Yellow-throated martin, Martes flavigula). We estimated 60 - 90 Musk deer, 4 - 20 Red deer, 527 - 1036 Goral, 684 - 900 Himalayan ibex, 747 - 2360 Common langur, 2884-3508 Rhesus macaque and 109 - 148 Yellow-throated martin. The sex ratio of Rhesus macaque was 1 male : 2 female and age composition being 2.94 adults : 1 young. Similarly, 2.5 females were available for every male with age composition being 3.23 adults : 1 young.Keywords

The forests under Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) are a northern extension of the plains of Assam, which is classified as an 'Important Bird Area'. Unlike other plains of North-eastern India, most of the ornithological surveys in this landscape have produced only limited bird inventories. During present studies two hundred sixty open width transects were used to survey eight major habitat types in the central and western part of BTC forests. The 270 species of birds were recorded from the study area which include 24 species from outside transects. The maximum bird species were recorded from Dry Deciduous Miscellaneous Forest followed by Moist Deciduous Miscellaneous Forest, Sal Forests and Scrub Forests. Some species were also recorded from reverine habitat and Evergreen Forests. The bird species richness was least in encroached forestland under agriculture fallow and monoculture plantations. The results show that the forests of BTC are important parts of the Northeast Biodiversity Hotspot and deserve inclusion in protected area network.Keywords
