Abstract
Asian Wild Water Buffalo with the scientific name Bubalus bubalis arnee is recorded as an imperiled species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN's) Red List of Threatened Species wetland-subordinate. More number Wild Water Buffalo in Nepal are found at the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR), situated on the floodplain of the Koshi River in Province 1. This species is in danger because of a high anthropogenic pressing factor going from natural surroundings weakening to hybridization with homegrown Buffalo. Various preservation and work mediations have been attempted to shield the biodiversity, especially the wild buffalo populace in the KTWR. The people group-based supportable administration approach profiting both protection and work of neighborhood individuals is important to guarantee the drawn-out preservation of the species. But it is not happening, so the Government of Nepal translocated 18 Wild Water Buffaloes to Chitwan National Park, and the environment is not suitable for them. There is the possibility to translocate Wild Water Buffaloes in the Babai flood plain of Bardia National Park for conservation.
Highlights
Asian Wild Water Buffalo was available in Royal Chitwan National Park in the mid-1960s got terminated there, likely because of sicknesses conveyed by homegrown cows and Buffalo brought by outsiders settling the region after the eradication of malaria [1]
Using the same blood samples collected during this study, we have reported the prevalence of malaria parasites for the first time in buffaloes of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR) [31]
Due to Nepal's weak management policy, the KTWR area is heading towards its doom
Summary
Asian Wild Water Buffalo was available in Royal Chitwan National Park in the mid-1960s got terminated there, likely because of sicknesses conveyed by homegrown cows and Buffalo brought by outsiders settling the region after the eradication of malaria [1]. Chitwan National Park had this species [1] and has extensive grassland areas and much larger riverine habitats with sufficient upland areas that are not prone to flooding, compared to KTWR [9]. For these reasons, 18 Wild Buffaloes were translocated to Chitwan National Park from KTWR recently, and more need to be moved soon [10,11]. An investigation was directed in the Babai flood plain of Bardia National Park (BNP) to recognize reasonable territory for wild water buffalo dependent on natural surroundings boundaries of KTWR. The examination utilized both the geospatial and vegetation investigation strategy [12]. Grassland and wetland executives and investigation of different boundaries, for example, atmosphere and prey-hunter relationship are Journal of Buffalo Science, 2021, Vol 10 53 prescribed before settling on the choice to move wild water buffalo to the Babai flood plain of BNP
