Dr. Shivish Bhandari has published a new scientific article, “Competitive carnivore guilds as natural buffers for sustainable tiger conservation,” in the renowned international journal Wildlife Society Bulletin.
The article highlights the ecological importance of leopards, striped hyenas, and dholes in tiger-dominated ecosystems and discusses how maintaining diverse carnivore communities may contribute to sustainable tiger conservation across complex lowland landscapes.
This research emphasizes holistic community-level management rather than single-species focus to ensure resilient trophic networks in Nepal’s national parks.
