The endangered fishing cat faces a crisis as habitat loss and pollution destroy the wetlands they need. Often overshadowed by larger animals, their numbers are plummeting. However, a survey in Kaziranga National Park found 57 cats, proving protected floodplains are key to their recovery. This sanctuary allows them to hunt safely, serving as a vital stronghold. Protecting these cats ensures healthy freshwater ecosystems that provide water and flood control, benefiting both nature and people.
