Abstract:
Predatory animals serve crucial roles in preserving ecological balance across India's different habitats. For this research, we studied what prey populations, the skin of Bengal tigers, Indian wolves, and raptors do to the environment, to the habitat's health, and to the biodiversity resilience. This study shows that predators (and especially pest predators) can contribute to trophic hierarchy and active ecosystem service provision (i.e., pest and vegetable regulation) while being associated with important ecosystem components (i.e., energy flow) in the settings of human-influenced landscapes and for the Sundarbans. The dangers are land fragmentation and human-animal conflict, and climate change is totally investigated, and the critical need for complete conservation efforts is highlighted. The restoration efforts provide important lessons for future biodiversity management, as how to manage and restore a globally very endangered animal had been successful through the success of Project Tiger and the use of indigenous ecological knowledge. The policy proposals for the stronger protected area networks and the rewards for community-based conservation, as well as climate resilience, are incorporated into predator conservation planning. For future research with coupling new technology, long-term ecological monitoring, and socio-ecological frameworks to solve complex conservation problems, the paper proposes. Overall, Indian ecological and cultural fabric cannot be imagined without the existence of the predatory species in India. To ensure long-term sustainability, conservation research and grassroots stewardship must be linked with forward-thinking and multidisciplinary strategies to ensure the predator’s sustainability and the ecosystems they support.
