A new era of Indian ecology looks to its horizons, and to the ground
The second Indian Wildlife Ecology Conference (IWEC) brought together researchers and policymakers to discuss the future of wildlife conservation in India. The conference emphasized the need for predictive ecological modeling to address climate change, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss.
Why it matters
As India faces rapid development and environmental shifts, integrating scientific research with public policy is critical for long-term ecosystem survival.
Wildlife ecology in India looks different today than it did a decade ago. Climate change, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and rapid development are all reshaping ecosystems faster than scholars can document them. Thus, ecologists are interested in how biodiversity has changed as well as how it is likely to change next.
