摘要

High-altitude regions of the Himalayas remain largely unexplored due to their inaccessible habitats, complex topography, and challenging climatic conditions, despite harbouring rich biodiversity. The present study captured the first photographic evidence of endangered Western tragopan and new records of Barking deer from Dhauladhar Wildlife Sanctuary in Himachal Pradesh using camera traps. New records of barking deer captured in two places (2892 m & 2945 m) and first photographic evidence of the western tragopan captured at 3074 m elevation in month of May–July. The occurrence of Barking deer at high altitudes raises questions about potential habitat changes influenced by urbanization and increasing biotic pressures, demanding further investigation to understand the impact of environmental changes on species upward migrations.
