Endangered Animals of Nepal

List Of Endangered Animals of Nepal

1. Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)

Red pandas are found in the western forests of Nepal and the southwestern mountain slopes of China. Weighing up to 6 kg, they can grow to about 50 – 63 cm in length. They have a signature reddish-brown, thick fur, and have a raccoon-like appearance. The thick fur coat protects against the harsh cold; the fur is sought after by poachers because of its high value. The red panda is endangered mostly due to loss of habitat caused by Deforestation. It usually lives in thick bamboo forests, which are being cleared for land, fuel, and timber.

2. Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia)

The snow leopards are distributed mostly in the mountainous regions of Mustang, Mugu, Dolpo, and Humla. Characterized by its smoky grey fur coat covered by dark grey spots, the snow leopard weighs about 35-55 kg and grows up to 1.8 – 2.3m. They have long bushy tails with significantly large paws to aid in climbing mountains. Along with the effects of global warming and the interference of human activities, snow leopards have been gravely affected. The pelts and bones of the snow leopard are used for making medicines and thus are poached.

3. Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)

Bengal Tigers are known to be the most ferocious tigers among all. Native to the Indian sub-continent, they are one of the largest big cats of Asia. They weigh about 250 kg and can measure up to almost 3m in length. The Tigers have unique stripe patterns on their golden-brown skin, and the very character almost led to its extinction due to over poaching and hunting. There are about 235 Tigers in Nepal according to the census of 2018. They face a significant threat of being extinct in the wild and are hence one of the most endangered animals in Nepal.

4. One-horned Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis)

Known all around by its characteristic one horn, this is one exotic beast. Weighing up to 2-2.5 metric tons and growing to near 3.7-3.8m, this animal is exclusive to the Indian sub-continent. They usually prefer a solitary life but also move in herds sometimes. The one-horned rhino is mostly hunted for its prized horn which is made up of Keratin.

Both male and female musk deer have well-developed upper canine teeth which grow out in a fang-like manner. The Musk deer are high in demand because of their scent glands. The poachers poach them as the glands are considered to be more valuable than gold. The scent gland of the musk deer is used to make perfumes and oriental medicines.

These dolphins are greyish brown in color and grow to the lengths of about 2.67m. The Ganges River dolphins lack an eye lens, and hence, it is also called “the blind dolphin." These dolphins live in one of the most densely populated regions in the world and are threatened by loss of habitat. Construction of dams, irrigation projects, and river pollution contribute to the destruction of the homes of these mammals.

The male stag weighs about 170-280 kg while the females weigh about 140 kg. They can be found in the Suklaphanta wildlife reserve. They are strict grazers and depend upon grasslands for food. Because the destruction of grasslands for land and food for cattle, these deer face extinction.

The Empowered Women of Nepal

Healthy people, a healthy environment and empowered women are three critical components needed to strengthen communities in the developing world. Without these components, it is hard to ensure that people can live in harmony with nature. In this video, learn how WWF and CARE have worked with two women from Nepal – Devi and Jalpa – to make sure each of these components are in place.

Nepal's Top 10 Protected Wildlife Species (Mammals)

1. Red Panda

The red panda (Ailurus fulgens), also called lesser panda and red cat-bear, is a small arboreal mammal native to the eastern Himalayas and south-western China that has been classified as vulnerable by IUCN as its wild population is estimated at less than 10,000 mature individuals. The population continues to decline and is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and inbreeding depression, although red pandas are protected by national laws in their range countries.



2. Antilope carvicapra

The blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) is an ungulate species of antelope native to the Indian subcontinent that has been classified as near threatened by IUCN since 2003, as its range has decreased sharply during the 20th century. The native population is stable, with an estimated 50,000 individuals as of 2001.


3. Bos gaurus

The gaur is a strong and massively built species with a high convex ridge on the forehead between the horns, which bends forward, causing a deep hollow in the profile of the upper part of the head. There is a prominent ridge on the back. The ears are very large; the tail only just reaches the hocks, and in old bulls the hair becomes very thin on the back.


4. Bos mutus

The yak (Bos grunniens and Bos mutus) is a long-haired bovid found throughout the Himalaya region of south Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia and Russia. Most yaks are domesticated, Bos grunniens. There is also a small, vulnerable population of wild yaks, Bos mutus.[2] In the 1990s, a concerted effort was undertaken to help save the wild yak population.


5. Bubalus bubalis

The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee) native to Southeast Asia is considered a different species but most likely represents the ancestor of the domestic water buffalo.







6. Canis lupus

The gray wolf (Canis lupus[a]) also known as the timber wolf,[3][4] or western wolf,[b] is a canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and northern, eastern and western Africa. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb), and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb).[6] Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle.[7] Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in color, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur.[4] As of 2005,[8] 37 subspecies of C. lupus are recognised by MSW3. The nominate subspecies is the Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus lupus),[9] also known as the common wolf.


7. Caprolagus hispidus

The hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), also called Assam rabbit, is a leporid native to South Asia, whose historic range extended along the southern foothills of the Himalayas. Today, the habitat of the hispid hare is highly fragmented with an area of occupancy of less than 500 km2 (190 sq mi) extending over an estimated area of 5,000 to 20,000 km2 (1,900 to 7,700 sq mi). Populations experience a continuing decline in suitable habitat due to increasing agriculture, flood control, and human development. It has been classified as Endangered by IUCN since 1986.


8. Cervus duvaceli

The barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii syn. Cervus duvaucelii), also called swamp deer, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It is extinct in Pakistan and in Bangladesh.


9. Elephus maximus

The Asian or Asiatic elephant (Elephas maximus) is the only living species of the genus Elephas and is distributed in Southeast Asia from India in the west to Borneo in the east. Three subspecies are recognized—Elephas maximus maximus from Sri Lanka, the Indian elephant or E. m. indicus from mainland Asia, and E. m. sumatranus from the island of Sumatra.[1] Asian elephants are the largest living land animals in Asia.


10. Felis lynx
