Banke-Bardia complex is a Level-I Tiger Conservation Unit (TCU), where tigers and leopards co-exist, and human-carnivore conflicts often occur. Presently, a paucity of research on habitat suitability and felid-awareness hinders the conservation of these threatened animals. Our research will supplement information gaps on the habitat requirements of tigers and leopards by acquiring the occurrence records via camera trap surveys, scats, developing habitat suitability models for both species, and undertaking community awareness projects. The long-term perspective of our research is to manage the felid populations by developing effective conservation work. Identifying where restoration of habitat needs to be undertaken is vital to aid felid population growth. Hence, our research will help to shape land-management policies and practices in Banke-Bardia complex. Effective habitat management will also reduce the incidents of human casualties, livestock depredation and retaliatory killings. The habitat suitability models will help to inform the conservation of these felids by identifying areas of the complex important for populations, and by fostering park-people relations.
