View: Unusual Photograph Of A Threatened Nilgiri Marten Crossing Road Captivates Internet
Supriya Sahu, an IAS official, engages internet users by providing fascinating data about animal protection. The officer just shared a fascinating video on the Nilgiri Marten, a unique species that is exclusive to the Western Ghats. Its bright canary yellow neck and chocolate-colored hair set this little cuddly creature apart. Online users were enthralled by the uncommon sighting of this endangered mammal.
The Nilgiri Marten is listed as “Vulnerable” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List because it is in danger of going extinct. It was formerly a common sight in the lush forests and grasslands of the Western Ghats, which stretch across the southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. There are several causes for its diminishing population. Experts say that habitat loss and fragmentation have had a significant effect on the population.
The Tamil Nadu government established the “TN Endangered Species Conservation Fund” in an attempt to acknowledge the pressing need for conservation.
The Nilgiri Marten is a stunning little mustelid with chocolate-colored fur and a canary-yellow neck that most people have never ever heard of. This stunning species was formerly widely observable, but it is now listed as endangered by the IUCN. Western Ghats is home to the rare Nilgiri Marten. Through the recently established “TN Endangered Species Conservation Fund,” the TN government plans to save lesser-known species, such as the Nilgiri Marten. The description says, “video: APW, Thiru Senthil, Chinnamanur Range, Megamalai Division.”
The moment the video and images were released, people quickly expressed their opinions. “While it is regrettable that the Nilgiri Marten is in risk of extinction, it is encouraging to see programs like the TN Endangered Species Conservation Fund working to save this and other lesser-known species. To protect biodiversity, conservation and awareness-raising are essential,” a user said.
“Excellent, ma’am, even forest officials can record a video documentary to showcase this kind of rare species,” said a second person. Knowledge of animals will be more beneficial to both our community and our kids.
An report said, “The Nilgiri Marten is a true gem of our biodiversity,” echoing a similar viewpoint. The efforts being undertaken to preserve these lesser-known species are uplifting. Together, let’s do our share to secure their existence.
