Brief Description (Abstract):

The developing of long-term programme for birds and mammals in the Indian Ocean, Dakshin Gangotri and Maitri regions of Antarctica is to define and evaluate ecosystem health and to explore cause and effect relationships among the ecosystem components. This programme envisages developing monitoring protocols for identified species/taxa alongwlth details on How, When and Where to monitor. Implementing this programme in the Indian Ocean, Dakshin Gangotri and Maitri regions of Antarctica would act as good indicator of impending disasters, if any. Collecting information on the baseline status of wildlife is considered crucial for initiating such programme.

Status: Completed

Purpose: i. Establish baseline status of birds and mammals in the Indian Ocean, Dakshin Gangotri, Maitri and Indian Bay regions of Antarctica. ii. Identify suitable monitoring techniques and attempt trial runs. iii. Develop monitoring protocols for the identified species/taxa. iv. Classify the different wildlife habitats and their use by wildlife using GIS and GPS technologies.
