CIVET CHRONICLES 
Search for the Malabar Civet (Viverra civettina) in Kerala and Karnataka
Civet ChroniclesConsidered among the rarest of Indian mammals, the mysterious Malabar civet (Viverra civettina) has proven a challenging subject to conservationists attempting to study its status and distribution in the Western Ghats. With no photographs of live individuals ever recorded, very few among even the local community are aware of its existence. This report is an outcome of a two-year long conservation survey - funded by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India and implemented by the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) - conducted to establish the presence of this elusive viverrid in lowland Western Ghats in the south Indian states of Kerala and Karnataka.
