Total Budget (INR): | 5,12,000 |
Outcome/Output: | Studies will examine the plant species responses to climate change, using movement velocities generated by hornbills and macaques. The results from the study will help identify plant species that have lost dispersal services in modified habitats for immediate attention in restoration programs and appropriate land use management to maintain critical ecosystem services provided by hornbills and macaques. |
