The living legend of modern wildlife biology, Dr. George Schaller
called them "Mountain Monarchs." Ungulates of the high altitudes
are fascinating creatures with great adaptability to the harsh
climatic conditions and extremely tough terrain. Habitat
destruction, hunting and other such anthropogenic pressures pose a
severe threat to the long-term survival of these little known
species. This book represents the unknown facts about the ecology
of mountain ungulates in the least- explored wilderness areas
around the third highest peak of the world, Mt. Khangchendzonga,
situated in the eastern Himalayan biodiversity hot-spot. Apart from
distributions and abundances, this book also elucidates about the
habitat use patterns of these species. Species distribution models
and their implications for studying such rare and elusive species
are discussed thoroughly here. This book also explains how to
monitor these species in future and what steps can be taken to
ensure their long term survival. To maintain the ecological balance
of this fragile mountain landscape, the facts and findings
described in this book can help the present and future students,
managers and wildlife enthusiasts.
