- The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has launched a project to undertake ‘immunocontraceptive measures’ and control population of four species of wild animals.
- Elephant
- Wild Boar
- Monkey
- Blue Bull (Nilgai)
- This technology uses a female animal’s immune system to build a protein around the egg that prevents it from fertilising.
- The project aims to minimise human-animal conflict and the resulting casualties.
- It will be started in Uttarakhand and then be extended to other States.
- The Wildlife Institute of India and National the Institute of Immunology have developed the protocol of immunocontraception.
