As WII marks its Foundation Day, we pause to honour the journey of an institution built on science, service and commitment to India’s wildlife. A profound interaction with former Directors enriched the occasion, as their wisdom, memory and vision reminded us that institutions grow through continuity, conviction, equal opportunity and collective purpose.

A tiger family reminds us that even in the wild, strength is built on trust, care, and togetherness. Beyond the roar lies a bond of love, protection, and silent understanding. 🐅 @ntca_india @IBCA_official @bhlab_india @wii_india @GobindsagarBha1 @SPYadavIFS @rameshpandeyifs @Unitedfortigers @vrtiwari1

A Ph D is not about proving brilliance from day one.
It’s about learning balance, falling, getting up, and riding with confidence.
You’re here to learn the craft of thinking, not to reinvent science overnight.
Master the fundamentals—impact will follow. @bhlab_india @rameshpandeyifs @wii_india @GobindsagarBha1 https://t.co/8zIR5fxmTr

A new study from Maharashtra found that while tigers, leopards, and dholes share the same forests, they use landscapes in very different ways. Dholes are the most at risk among the three carnivores. @randomcards reports.

How do tigers, leopards & dholes move in fragmented forests?🌳🧬Our study reveals genetic connectivity & how landscapes shape their movement, vital for corridor conservation. @wildwithwolves @paragnigam09 @wii_india #TigerDay #Carnivores #WildlifeCorridors https://t.co/vZqucWfTkV

Muskrats on Maine’s Isles of Shoals have gone off-script—no wetlands, new predators, and island behaviours. A century-old introduction becomes an ecological case study. 🦫🌊 #furbearers #islandbiogeography @AlexisMychajliw @CourtneyHofman

Never thought I'd see the day when Wildlife Crossings was formally proposed as a LEGO kit. Then again I haven't touched a LEGO since 1992.

Happy to share our recent work on dhole dispersal. Pack size and large predator density may result in differential dispersal patterns in social carnivores like Asiatic wild dog. @bhlab_india
