PUNE: As many as 25 pairs of the critically endangered forest owlet , which is endemic to India, will be colour-banded to study their distribution, population, demography and ecology. City-based Wildlife Research and Conservation Society (WRCS) plans to carry out the project in Melghat and Tadoba tiger reserves, and in Toranmal in Nandurbar district of the state.

The society would make recommendations to help save the species listed in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Protection Act of India, 2002.
