The Department of Zoology at Panjab University, Chandigarh, in collaboration with the Indian National Science Academy (Chandigarh chapter), organised a distinguished lecture on “Wildlife Conservation Scenario in India”. The lecture was delivered by Prof Mewa Singh, an eminent scientist from the University of Mysore, renowned for his research on animal behaviour and ecology.

Singh, known for his groundbreaking work on three primate species — lion-tailed macaques, bonnet macaques and slender loris — captivated the audience by highlighting their critical roles in India’s forest ecosystems. His pioneering research has not only expanded scientific understanding of these species, but also significantly influenced wildlife conservation policies in various states.
