Two research scholars from the Department of Wildlife Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Arshyaan Shahid and Shahzada Iqbal, brought laurels to India by presenting their innovative research at the 9th European Congress on Mammalogy held in Patras, Greece. Guided by Prof. Orus Ilyas, the students were the sole representatives from India and the broader subcontinent at this premier international event, which convenes once every four years and draws the world’s leading mammalogists.

The European Congress on Mammalogy is a renowned platform for sharing advancements in mammalian science, conservation strategies, and ecological research.

Among hundreds of global participants, Shahzada Iqbal presented two posters on wolf conservation in Central India, addressing ecological challenges and species threats. Arshyaan Shahid presented a poster on the behavioural ecology of the Gaur (Indian bison) and also delivered an oral presentation on human-elephant interactions in Jharkhand’s Palamau Tiger Reserve.

Their research received commendation from international experts, who appreciated their scientific rigor and conservation-oriented approach.

“It was an incredible opportunity to share our work with leading mammalogists,” said Shahzada Iqbal. Arshyaan Shahid remarked, “The insights and feedback we gained were invaluable. Representing India on such a platform was truly an honour.”

Prof. Orus Ilyas lauded the students’ accomplishments, noting, “Their success at EUROTHERIUM reflects the research excellence at AMU and signals India’s growing presence in global wildlife science.”
