Abstract
The striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the large carnivores of forest and grassland ecosystems across Africa and Asia and is currently threatened throughout its range. Hyena habitats are shrinking, due to the increase of human-dominated landscapes. Increasing human-wildlife conflict, tourism, and human population growth near interface zones across the revenue lands have negative effects on the carnivores.
What are the threats faced by Striped Hyenas in India?
