The maximum number of 4mammalian species belongs to family Bovidea (22.22%), followed by family Cervidea (16.67%) and Canidea (11.11%). The family Cercopithecidae, Manidae, Felidae, Hyaeniudae, Herpestidae, Sciuridae, Muridae, Leporidae and Suidae represented by one species each with a share of 5.56%. The highest diversity was in the Site IV, while the Site II has lowest diversity. Species evenness has shown variation in the first four sites with values of 0.861 (Site IV), 0.247 (Site I), 0.202 (Site III) and 0.102 (Site II). Conservation status of mammals reveals that among 18 species of mammals two species are vulnerable, three species are near-threatened, one specie is included in CITES Appendix II and another two species includes in CITES Appendix III, and rest of the mammalian species are east concern.
