Himachal Pradesh has achieved remarkable success in enhancing the cheer pheasant survival rate, soaring from 11% to a full 100%. This incredible turnaround is attributed to innovative conservation strategies, including parent-rearing and a gradual release method that equips the birds with essential survival skills. Ongoing monitoring is employed using VHF transmitters and camera traps, check-ins that help assess the birds’ acclimatization in their natural habitat.
