Guwahati City Leopard Population Estimation Update

Our ongoing Guwahati City Leopard Population Estimation Project is progressing steadily. Out of the planned 100 survey grids, we have successfully covered 21 grids so far. The team has surveyed major hill ranges including Adingiri, Gotanagar, Nilachal, Kharghuli, Hengerabari, and Bhangagarh.

During the initial assessment, two individual leopards have already been identified. Signs of leopard presence—such as pugmarks, scent marks, scat, scratch marks, and rake marks—have been recorded from multiple locations across the city, indicating a healthy and widespread leopard movement pattern.

Volunteers from Gauhati University, Pragjyotish College, Dakshin Kamrup College, and Cotton University (MSc students) have actively participated in the fieldwork.

The project being carried out under APFBC phase II funded by AFD
