From Asiatic Lion to Red Panda, the 21 species listed for recovery

The Centre’s Recovery Programme for Critically Endangered Species now covers 21 species or groups of species. As reported in The Indian Express Thursday, four of these have been newly added. Before that, the last set of additions was made in 2015. The 21 species are covered under the Integrated Development of Wildlife Habitats, a scheme of the Ministry on Environment and Forest.
According to the website of the Wildlife Institute of India’s ENVIS Centre, Asiatic Lion and Rhinoceros populations are showing an increasing trend; Sangai and Hangul populations are stable; while Great Indian Bustard and Nicobar Megapode populations have declined. Vulture populations, which had declined in recent times, have registered a small upward trend, the website adds, attributing this to conservation efforts. The list shown here includes populations as mentioned by the ENVIS website.
