Description
Summary:For nearly two decades (1990–2010), conservation efforts in Manas National Park (MNP), Assam, India were compromised by ethno-political conflict. Documenting photographic evidence of rare species in MNP after the conflict is critical for informed conservation interventions. Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine Atherurus macrourus is one of the lesser-known mammals of southern and southeastern Asia, with populations declining throughout its range. During a camera-trap survey in MNP for Clouded Leopard Neofelis nebulosa, Asiatic Brush-tailed Porcupine was photo-captured.
