Abstract

The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), a critically endangered freshwater reptile endemic to the Indian subcontinent, faces severe threats from various anthropogenic stressors. Despite positive conservation efforts, a holistic approach is essential for improved outcomes. This involves (1) identification of new conservation priority sites, (2) establishment of gharial populations outside protected areas, (3) interlinking ecosystem processes, (4) conducting census of gharial annually, (5) efficient use of digital technology, (6) adoption of best management practices to mitigate various threats, (7) assessment of inbreeding depression in gharial, (8) rescue and rehabilitation training for local communities, (9) interstate and trans-boundary commission and (10) survey on socio-economic status of local communities. Implementing the proposed synergistic measures will not only strengthen conservation efforts but also enhance the livelihoods of local communities, ensuring a sustainable future for this species.

关于针对极度濒危嘎利鱼（Gavialis gangeticus）的物种协同保护措施的建议

印度大鲵（Gavialis gangeticus）是印度次大陆特有的一种极度濒危的淡水爬行动物，面临着各种人为压力的严重威胁。尽管在保护方面做出了积极努力，但要取得更好的成果，必须采取综合方法。这包括：(1) 确定新的优先保护地点；(2) 在保护区外建立豚鼠种群；(3) 将生态系统过程相互联系起来；(4) 每年对豚鼠进行普查；(5) 有效利用数字技术；(6) 采用最佳管理方法来减轻各种威胁；(7) 评估豚鼠近亲繁殖抑制；(8) 为当地社区提供救援和康复培训；(9) 州际和跨境委员会；(10) 调查当地社区的社会经济状况。实施拟议的协同措施不仅能加强保护工作，还能改善当地社区的生计，确保该物种的未来可持续发展。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems is an international journal dedicated to publishing original papers that relate specifically to freshwater, brackish or marine habitats and encouraging work that spans these ecosystems. This journal provides a forum in which all aspects of the conservation of aquatic biological resources can be presented and discussed, enabling greater cooperation and efficiency in solving problems in aquatic resource conservation.
