Descrição

Monitor lizards are large reptile species found in the warmer regions of the world. They play an important ecological role in agricultural and forest ecosystems as an active scavenging predator by feeding on pests, snakes, carrions, and other smaller species. They are also a source of food for other predators which maintains a balance of the ecosystem and food chain in their respective habitats. Four species of Monitor lizards are found in different regions of India, Bengal Monitor (Varanus bengalensis), Common Water Monitor (V. salvator), Yellow monitor (V. flavescens) and Desert Monitor (V. griseus). They are protected under Schedule I species under Wildlife Protection Act of India, 1972 and according to IUCN have a conservation status of Near Threatened (NT), Least Concern (LC), Endangered (EN) and Least Concern (LC) respectively. Recent scenarios show that the population of different species are declining due to urban sprawling, habitat degradation, habitat fragmentation, overuse of pesticides and many other reasons but there are no such in depth studies conducted to understand the scenario of monitor lizard species in India. Therefore this program was initiated in 2022 to understand the distribution of different species of monitor lizards throughout India and to educate common people about these species by involving them in this counting process.
