説明
Jagdishpur reservoir is a ramsar site and being an important site for migratory birds and different mammals, the area has not been studied in great detail. The area has also become an attraction for bird watchers and carries a huge potential for ecotourism. Aquaculture is one of the important aspects for the economy of the locals of Jagadishpur. Since fishing cat prefers consuming fishes from clean water, retaliatory killing of the mammal is one of the biggest threats for Fishing Cat. The previous works have been conducted around the reservoir to enhance information about fishing cats among local community. The works delineated a huge knowledge gap within the community regarding the wildlife of the area. Therefore, this project was proposed to create conservation value of Fishing Cat and its habitat as well as other species among the local community. The main goal of the project is to create conservation unit who can utilize their knowledge and experience to motivate other communities as well in conservation. This dataset contains camera trap occurrence records of small mammals. The camera trap survey was done in 2020 in Jagdishpur region of Kapilvastu, Nepal. The dataset is the result of project funded by The Rufford Foundation.

プロジェクトデータ
The presence of Fishing Cat was first addressed in Jagadishpur reservoir and Ban Ganga river in 2014 (Dahal S., 2015). Prior to the discovery of Fishing Cat, there had been no proactive work on conservation of Fishing Cat in the area. The local people has difficulty even in identifying the species, often being confused with Otters, and struggling to allot the correct terminology. Moreover, communities are unaware of the global and national conservation status of Fishing Cat. This obvious knowledge gap has not only victimized Fishing Cat to culling but also created a void in its conservation in such an important area. The species is killed in retaliation for preying upon poultries, confusing it with other more common species in the area like Jungle Cat. The previous study also depicted that Fishing Cat are poached as a misconception of ethno-medicine for tuberculosis and for bush meat. The important key factor for the survival of Fishing Cat is the presence of wetlands and marshy areas in the Jagadishpur Reservoir and the Ban Ganga River however, it was also noticed that these sites were shrinking due to anthropogenic and developmental activities, affecting the survival of Fishing Cat. With all the observed threats observed to previous studies on Fishing Cat and their existence closely related to human settlement, involvement of local communities is crucial to achieve the conservation goals. The primary goal of the project is to encourage the local community’s participation for the monitoring and conservation of Fishing Cat around Jagdishpur Reservoir and Ban Ganga River.

| Study Area Description | The Jagadishpur Reservoir is a reservoir in Kapilvastu District of Nepal. With a surface area of 225 hectares, it is the largest reservoir in the country and an important wetland site. It is situated at an altitude of 197m and the maximum water depth varies between 2 meters in dry season to 7 meters in monsoon. The Jagadishpur Reservoir is listed on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance as defined by the Ramsar Convention. Constructed in the early 1970s for irrigation purposes, the reservoir is fed by a canal from the nearby Banganga River. The reservoir is surrounded by cultivated land and a few smaller lakes which serve as a buffer zone for bird movement. |
| 研究の意図、目的、背景など（デザイン） | Focal group discussion: With the presence of around 25 locals the first cycle of focal group discussion was organized. The ideas of locals and their understanding on conservation the major goal of the project were discussed. Also, once the project was in its final phase 2 nd focal group discussion in presence of 10 locals was also organized. The 2nd cycle of FGD was more about the future planning regarding fishing cat conservation and the further role of community in conservation. Questionnaire Survey: 100 questionnaire surveys were undertaken. The questionnaire contained of the close ended questions. The questionnaire survey was done to understand the scenario of fishing cat’s sightings and threats possessed by fishing cat in the area. Camera Trap Survey: Two transects of Camera trap survey was held in the area. The cameras successfully captured fishing cat in various locations. There were five cameras in total and and the cameras were deployed for fortnight in each transect. School awareness program: Although 20 schools were planned only 15 school awareness program could take place. It was because of the unavoidable situation like covid- 19 pandemic many schools in the area remained close. Three community awareness campaigns: Community awareness campaigns were also organized. The informational posters were used as major awareness equipment. Information boards installation and informational poster printing: Two information boards with conservation message of fishing cat were designed and installed in the area. The areas for installation of the boards were selected by discussing with the local government. Also, 500 copies of informational posters were designed and distributed as awareness material in the area. |

Two transects were undertaken for camera traps deployment. Five cameras were installed in each transect. Each cameras were installed in difference on 300-500 meters distances. The camera trap location were selected on the basis of indirect signs like pugmarks and scats. Besides indirect signs, habitat characteristics like marshy region, grass land, how near is the fish pond were observed. The cameras were installed for fortnight in each transect.

Method step description:
- The species were identified simply by scrutinizing the camera trap photographs and sorted out in different folders. The duplication of the photographs were strictly avoided by naming each folder with unique name.
