Ecobiology of Gray Goral(Naemorhedus goral). Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, May 2009, Pages: 192
The Himalayan grey goral (Naemorhedus goral, order:
Artiodactyla, sub-order: Ruminantia, family: Bovidae)
is endemic to Himalayas and Hindukush ranges. The
present study has been instituted to study the
eco-biology of the species with reference to its
distribution range extending into Pakistan with the
aim of providing a base line data on population
distribution and status.
The analysis of the species biology suggests that it
has a vulnerable status as per IUCN criteria, having
a fragmented population of less than 1,000
individuals. The goral, as a species has full
potentials of its survival under the available
habitat conditions. The future management would
require protection to fawns in the protected areas,
creation of habitat corridors, international
cooperation to provide support to the population
surviving in Indian part of the distribution range of
the species, habitat management and arousing public
cooperation through awareness campaign.
