| contents | Riverine Realities: Evaluating Climate Change Impacts on Habitat Dynamics of the Critically Endangered Gharial () in the Indian Landscape. Abedin, Imon Singha, Hilloljyoti Singh, Shailendra Mukherjee, Tanoy Kim, Hyun-Woo Kundu, Shantanu The endemic and critically endangered gharial, experienced a severe population decline in its range. However, conservation efforts, notably through the implementation of "Project Crocodile" in India, have led to a significant recovery of its population. The present study employs an ensemble Species Distribution Model (SDM) to delineate suitable habitats for under current and future climatic scenarios to understand the impact of climate change. The model estimates that 46.85% of the area of occupancy is suitable under the present scenario, with this suitable area projected to increase by 145.16% in future climatic conditions. States such as Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam are projected to experience an increase in habitat suitability, whereas Odisha and Rajasthan are anticipated to face declines. The study recommends conducting ground-truthing ecological assessments using advanced technologies and genetic analyses to validate the viability of newly identified habitats in the Lower Ganges, Mahanadi, and Brahmaputra River systems. These areas should be prioritized within the Protected Area network for potential translocation sites allocation. Collaborative efforts between the IUCN-SSC Crocodile Specialist Group and stakeholders are vital for prioritizing conservation and implementing site-specific interventions to protect the highly threatened gharial population in the wild. |
