Abstract
It is said that monitoring of carnivore population is as important as estimating their numbers. Till date all over country, the effort of the protected area managers is centered around estimating the number than monitoring them. In order to counter this trend, the wildlife surveillance has been taken up in Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary which involves systematic collection of data on wildlife evidences in each of the beats. The information gathered by such an exercise is later used to develop occupancy maps for carnivore species. Such occupancy maps are used in prioritising the managerial interventions in the protected area management.
