Some Asian animals found thriving near humans to avoid extinction

The latest study shows that some of Asia's largest animals, including tigers and elephants, are thriving alongside humans.

To compare the historic distribution of Asia's 14 largest species with their populations in present-day tropical forests, researchers scoured paleontological records.

Researcher team said that the four species that showed increased populations in areas with human infrastructure were tigers, Asian elephants, wild pigs, and clouded leopards.

The results show that some large animals can live in close proximity of humans and avoid extinction. "I told you so." Amir said.

The narrative within some circles that humans and megafauna are incompatible has been challenged by these results.

The study found that clouded leopard numbers in particular experienced a decline in those areas as a result of being impacted by deforestation.

There have only been a few examples of large Asian species thriving in small habitats near humans, notably in Mumbai, India where leopards prey on stray dogs. The man referred to a prior study.

According to new findings that The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore has experienced the natural re-wilding of sambar deer and wild pigs.

The key innovation of this work was to systematically investigate the population trends of many different wildlife species across the region. The person said, "Lukin said."

He said that the results provided hope for wildlife in forests that were previously considered too far degraded or too close to cities.
