Megafauna recovery and relevance amidst people and poverty in India

In this compelling video, we explore megafauna recovery and conservation in India—a rare success story in the global context of biodiversity loss and species extinction. While humans have historically driven the extirpation of large animals, some species are now making a surprising comeback, even in densely populated landscapes. This talk dives into India’s nature recovery story, focusing on tigers, snow leopards, and megaherbivores through large-scale, long-term population assessments.

We examine how ecological drivers—such as habitat availability and food resources—combine with economic incentives, political stability, and community-based conservation to shape these recovery patterns. India's unique cultural and ecological landscape makes it a key case study in biodiversity conservation, environmental economics, and sustainable coexistence.

This video is ideal for academics, conservation professionals, policy-makers, NGOs, and anyone interested in the future of nature conservation in the Anthropocene. Discover how landscape-level sustainability, human-wildlife coexistence, and biodiversity resilience can inspire global conservation efforts.
