A monitoring exercise at Nawegaon Nagzira Tiger Reserve (NNTR) in Gondia under a team of biologists has found the presence of around 50 Indian giant flying squirrels, which an official on Sunday said would help authorities take effective steps for its conservation.<\/p>\n

While the animal is on the ‘Least Concern’ of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), loss of habitat, degradation and hunting have affected its numbers, he added.<\/p>\n

“In February, we found the presence of around 50 of these squirrels during the Phase IV monitoring by a team of biologists. Such a survey will help us take effective steps for its conservation and protection,” said Pawan Jeph, Deputy Director of NNTR.<\/p>\n

The Indian giant flying squirrel is a member of the rodent family and is native to China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, he added.<\/p>\n
