Wildlife conservationists in India have spotted at least 30 crocodiles and a Leith’s softshell turtle during the first ever survey of these reptiles at the Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR) in Maharashtra’s Nagpur district. The survey was carried out from June 2 to 4, and aimed to establish seasonal distribution and generate baseline data of herpetofauna diversity at the reserve. As crocodiles play a key role as apex predators in riverine ecosystem, their presence and space use indicate good health. The survey was designed and coordinated by Tinsa Ecological Foundation, with 25 participants, including 12 from other states, and the forest staff. At the end, a report will be prepared based on the data collected to help the conservation interventions.
