Recent study published by research scholar Mr. Jayant Gupta under supervision of Dr. Sujeet Singh, and Dr. Randeep Singh faculty, Department of Forestry and Wildlife, Amity University and Dr. Gilles Maurer from Centre for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology (CEFE), CNRS–France.
This study investigates the habitat-use patterns of the endemic Himalayan Tahr in the Govind Pashu Vihar landscape during the pre-monsoon season of 2025. Utilizing single-season occupancy modeling across 43, 2.5 × 2.5 km grids, data were collected via direct observations and genetic sign surveys. The analysis revealed an estimated site-use probability of 0.62 and a detection probability of 0.48 for the species. Habitat preference was significantly driven by higher elevations, rugged terrain, north-facing aspects, and alpine grasslands, while declining near dense forests and livestock grazing. Furthermore, detection was influenced by weather conditions, decreasing with precipitation but increasing slightly with higher temperatures. Spatial overlap analysis showed that 16.3% of grids shared space with livestock, emphasizing the urgent need to protect core undisturbed refuges and regulate grazing.

Did you know there are only six surviving tiger subspecies left in the world? 🌏

From the mangroves of India to the snowy forests of Russia, every tiger has adapted to its own unique habitat. Yet all six face one common challenge: habitat loss. Every forest they call home tells a different story, but protecting these landscapes is the key to ensuring tigers continue to thrive for generations.

That's why we created The Grand Tiger Chronicles—an interactive learning experience where you can discover fascinating tiger facts, test your knowledge through quizzes, and explore how Grow-Trees.com is restoring degraded mangrove forest with our Trees for Tigers® Sundarbans National Park, West Bengal, India Project and securing the home of these big cats.

📚 The interactive course is LIVE NOW!
⏳ Enroll before 29 July (International Tiger Day).
🔗 Course link is available in our bio.

Together, every tree planted brings us one step closer to healthier forests, richer biodiversity, and a safer future for tigers.

Because, Restoring forests = Protecting wildlife

Tiger Quiz: Which tiger subspecies is the largest?

Recent genetic based study led by Dr. Sujeet Kumar Singh, Assistant Professor at Amity University Noida, Former researcher Wildlife Institute of India in collaboration with several institutions, reveals moderate genetic variation in snow leopards across the Hindu Kush-Indian Himalayan Region (HK-IHR). The study identified region-specific SNP that may provide vital tools for wildlife forensics and tracking illegal trade. While most populations across the Indian Himalayas show high genetic connectivity, the low differentiation between Ladakh and Sikkim populations specifically suggests extensive long-range movement. These findings highlight an urgent need for transboundary conservation collaborations between India, Nepal, and other regional partners. To ensure the species’ survival, the study advocates for standardized methodologies and international cooperation across high-altitude habitats.

Snow leopards (Panthera uncia Schreber, 1775), the top predators in the mountains of southern and central Asia, are threatened by a range of human activities, including poaching and habitat destruction, which may reduce their genetic diversity. Owing to substantial knowledge gaps, the present study....

A groundbreaking Study Conducted by Dr. Randeep Singh, and Dr Sujeet Kumar Singh at Amity Institute of Forestry and Wildlife, Amity University Uttar Pradesh and Dr S.P. Goyal Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun titled “Use of bioclimatic region-specific single nucleotide polymorphism reveals cryptic long-distance dispersal of a female tiger from Terai Arc Landscape in northern to western India” has shed light on the hidden journeys of India’s majestic tigers. Keoladeo in Rajasthan is known worldwide as a bird sanctuary, not a tiger reserve. But back in 1999, villagers and forest staff spotted something extraordinary a female tiger wandering the park’s grasslands. At first, it was thought she came from nearby tiger strongholds like Sariska or Ranthambhore. But scientists wanted to be sure. Using advanced genetic tools including mtDNA SNP analysis they traced her ancestry. The results were astonishing: her genetic markers matched those of tigers from the Terai Arc Landscape (TAL), nearly 200-350 km away.

World Wildlife Day-2026, organized by the Wildlife Club of the Amity Institute of Forestry and Wildlife (AIFW), was a multidisciplinary celebration of nature involving 75 students from various departments like Forestry and Wildlife, Forensic Sciences, Biotechnology, GIS, and Environmental Sciences. Students were participated in different activities like Poster and face painting, photography and wildlife Quiz. The event concluded with an insightful talk by Radhika Bhagat, Founder & Chairman of the Sacred Earth Trust on “The Role of the Feminine in Conservation,” explored the intersection of Indian cultural practices and wildlife preservation.
