W ater is life! Just the way humans require water to live, animals also need it to survive and thrive. On average, a human can live up to 30 days without food, but it lasts only a few days without water. The story of water survival is the same with animals. As we celebrated World Water Day on 22nd March 2021, we decided to put a spotlight on the main water issues and challenges that are causing threats to wildlife. It is making survival a challenge! Why is Water a necessity for Wildlife? Animals can drink water, eat snow, or lick ice to survive and fulfil their water requirement.

Reasons can vary, like encroachment, animal trade, animal fights, new births, no access to food, illnesses, and entry of new animals among others. Although jungle authorities take care of their well-being, many times there is no guarantee of their security. Making them safe in their own territory has been vital and here comes the purpose of radio collars. Most of the jungles in India have secured the animals in Radio collars.  Radio collars are the first of their kind, where you can track their movements and dispersals. Earlier, the movements of the animals were tracked through their urine, excreta, and footprints. However, mere trafficking is not enough. Many conservationists believe that apart from tracking their movements, tracking their behaviors is also important. Illnesses and t...
