Abstract:
This data set consist of 85 compiled geo-referenced 'presence only' locations for Indian muntjak, also called as Barking Deer, (Muntiacus muntjak;Taxonomic Serial Number TSN 625060) in Lower Kanchenjungha Area of Nepal. The data cover the time period 2011 til 2012 and are collected by 4 observers throughout October, November, and February, March, April. Sightings are derived from line transect surveys as well as from opportunistic surveys. Most sightings are based on pellets; some direct sightings are also recorded. The geo-referencing is done with a eTREX 12 channel GPS and recorded decimal degrees, the WGS84 geographic datum is used. The bounding coordinates are latitude North 27.160520 and 26.995680, and longitude East 88.076500 and 87.857320. Sightings include elevations ranging from c. +2033 to +3084 meters above sea level. The survey locations include a variety of land types and regions, including Ilam and Panchthar. Exact survey locations are Maipokhari, Jamuna, Prangbung, Sidin, Maimajhuwa, Mabu, Lungrupa, Puwamajhuwa and Jogmai..
Purpose:
To provide a solid data source for Indian muntjak (also called Barking Deer, Muntiacus muntjak;Taxonomic Serial Number TSN 625060) in Nepal and for distribution, mapping and predictions for a sustainable conservation management.
