| Trapping of fishing cat in Chitwan National Park, Nepal | |
| 2011 Cat News (55): 10-11 | |
The fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ is Endangered with a decreasing population throughout its distribution range in South and Southeast Asia (IUCN Red List 2010). Ten live traps in a 200 m line transect were deployed near the Tiger Tops Tent Camp area in Chitwan National Park at the interval of 20 m. Two individual fishing cats were captured in March 2011. Regular fishing in the wetlands by local fishermen living nearby was identified as the major threat. |
