By Achyut Aryal (Published in : Tiger Paper Vol. 33: No. 2 Apr-Jun 2006)
The purpose of the study “Status (population,poaching and habitat) of musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster) in Annapurna Conservation Area of Manang district” was to determine the musk deer population, habitat structure, extent of poaching activities and the deer’s current status in Manang district of Annapurna Conservation
Area of Nepal, where this data is lacking. The objectives of the study were as follows:
1. to determine the population status of musk deer in study area;
2. to assess the present habitat structure;
3. to assess past and present poaching activities on musk deer in the study area;
to map out distribution and potential poaching areas in ACAP; and
5. to identify current threats to the musk deer population and their habitats.
Conclusions
1. Musk deer is distributed in all VDCs of Manang district except Phu VDC. A high density of musk deer is found in Nyeshang Valley. Pisang harbored a good number of musk deer, followed by Tilcho forest of Thoche VDC, Manang and Tanki Manang, Khansar, Chame, Dharapani, Tache Bagarchap and Nar
VDCs.
2. Potential musk deer habitat in the study area covered 7.82 km2 for Pisang VDC and 5.1 km2 in Humde. A total of 8 and 12 forest sites in Humde and Pisang respectively had the highest potential as musk deer habitat.
3. The average population density of musk deer in Humde area was 4.5 individuals/km2 and an estimated 23 animals are present in Humde. Similarly, the population density of musk deer in Pisang area is 3.4 individuals/km2 and approximately 27 individuals are present in Pisang forest.................................
