Project Associate – I (Genetic Component) (07 positions), Technical Assistant (50 positions)
2. Rangewide estimation of River dolphins: As a part of "Project Dolphin" initiative, a range- wide status of population and habitat of river dolphins and other associated biodiversity was carried out in Ganga, Brahmaputra and Indus river system. The main objectives of the project was to estimate River dolphin population in its entire distributional ranges, estimation of the other associated fauna in the river dolphin ranges and assessment of its habitat and anthropogenic pressure throughout the range. This was first of its kind as it was a pan India survey for estimating Ganges and Indus river dolphin population in its current distribution range.

3. Securing threatened habitats of mountain ungulates: Mountain ungulates hold a key position in the functioning of an ecosystem. They are the primary consumers in grasslands, influence vegetation structure, plant species community, nutrient cycling and as prey regulate wild carnivore populations and therefore are critical for the conservation of an ecosystem. However, due to increasing human population, they face immense competition for resources from livestock populations. Increasing habitat loss and fragmentation, and poaching, threaten the very survival of these species. Existence as a meta-population in a landscape, along with suitable habitat availability,
ensures the long-term persistence of a species. The project will be in Arunachal Pradesh.
