The Fishing Cat (Prionailurus viverrinus), commonly called Malaha Biralo, one of the 13 cat species in Nepal, is a medium sized cat found primarily in wetland areas, and native to Asia including Nepal. It is threatened to extinction by habitat loss, depletion of fish populations, road accidents, retaliatory killing and predators.
Five people have been killed near Uttarakhand s Corbett Tiger Reserve in the past two months, highlighting the increasing fatal encounters with the big cats due to their high density in the region. The tiger population in the reserve is the highest in the country, posing a challenge for habitat management. India s tiger population increased by 6.74% to 3,167 in 2022, with the Corbett Tiger Reserve having the largest population of 319 tigers. The loss of wildlife corridors around the reserve has been flagged as a concern. | Latest News India
