“…Although Haryana, a state in the northern part of India, is deficient in natural forests, but it has a rich biodiversity of some wild animals, especially Blackbuck antelopes (Antilope cervicapra). The Blackbuck is native to the Indian subcontinent, and it is protected as a scheduled-I animal under the 1972 Wildlife Protection Act, enacted by the Indian government (Kumar et al 2017). Once, Blackbuck antelopes were abundant and ranged throughout Haryana, but now their population has been marginalized and confined to the southwestern part of Haryana, and are nearly to extinct in the rest of the state due to increases in wildlife poaching, infrastructure development, and biotic interference.…”
