Assessment rationale/justification
This species is uncommon and restricted mainly to the mixed evergreen forests in the northeast and southeast of the country. Severe pressure on forest areas for timber extraction and due to many other anthropogenic factors its habitat is rapidly shrinking. Its Extent of Occurrenceis smaller than 5000 km2. Therefore, it qualifies for Vulnerable category.

Assessment rationale/justification
Though this species has a wide distribution in forested areas and also in some human settlements, its population is declining. Total number of mature individuals is less than 10000 and number of mature individuals in each subpopulation is less than 1000. So, it fulfills the criteria for threatened category Vulnerable.

Assessment rationale/justification
Throughout the distribution range, this species is facing a high risk of human impact, destruction of natural forests and daming of upper reaches of all trans-boundary rivers in the neighbouring countries that is causing massive siltation in all floodplain rivers. There has been a dramatic decline in the Extent of Occurrence, as well as habitat quality, especially in the Ganges (IWC, 2000) and Brahmaputra River basins, which is related to the construction of barrages in the upstream countries (M A R Khan pers. comm). The species has also disappeared from most of the tributaries of GangesBrahmaputra-Meghna river systems due to siltation, insufficient water flow. So, it is now restricted to a few larger channels (pers. obs.). It is assuming that at least 30% decline of population has occurred during last three generations with the decline in its habitat and incidental catch in drag net. Based on the ongoing threats, fragmentation of the population, the species has been assessed as Vulnerable.

Platanista gangetica lives exclusively in freshwater river system (Ahmed 2009, Culik, 2011, Khan 1985, 1987, Smith et al. 2009) and the estuaries where salinity level is low. Also during monsoon quite a good number visits the northern regions of the Sundarbans (Khan 1985, 1987 and M. A. R. Khan pers. comm). It occurs in all connected rivers and tributaries of Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna system, and Karnaphuli-Sangu river system in southern Bangladesh. They also present in seasonally flooded and lowlands. In general, Platanista gangetica gangetica mostly found in deep pools in river meanders and confluences. In the water ways of Bangladesh Sundarbans, their distribution is conditionally dependent on low salinity, high turbidity and moderate depth during both low and high freshwater flow (Smith et al. 2009).

This species is uncommon and now restricted mainly to the northwestern part of Bangladesh, and a small population in the border of Moulvibazar. The frequencies of sighting (index of relative abundance) has declined in the past and is being declining ever more rapidly due to retribution killing by villagers. It used to occur widely in Bangladesh but that range has now become quite restricted. So the Extent of Occurrence and Area of Occupancy have declined. Therefore, it qualifies for Vulnerable category.

This species is found mostly in family groups. Basically nocturnal but also active during the day, especially throughout monsoon period when sky is overcast. It hunts small mammals (especially rodents), reptiles, insects and crabs occasionally supplemented by sweet fruits. It lives in complex underground burrow network during the day. Usually four young are born inside the burrow during February-April (Kabir 2008). It prefers semi-arid, flat to undulating terrain, scrub, foothills and grassland habitats where it is easy to hunt and dig dens. It avoids dense forests, steep terrain, tall grasslands and true deserts.

Habitat details as listed in assessment
Mixed evergreen forest is the Hog Badger's principal habitat. It spends the day time in burrows that it digs for itself or in convenient natural shelters. It has been also reported from the homestead vegetation bordering forests. The Hog Badger is nocturnal, vegetarian and scavenger. Its feeding behaviour is to some extent similar to Wild Boar as it keeps digging in the wet and soft forest floor to fetch the worms and small creature as well as plant matters with its pronounced snout (Khan 2015). It forages using its powerful sense of smell. Worms and other invertebrates are taken along with roots and tubers which are pulled up with the snout and long claws of the fore paws. Fruits are also eaten and it is likely that they may also take any small mammals which it comes across (Asmat 2009). Little is known about its breeding habits, though litter size seems to be two or three young, and in captivity the average lifespan is 14 years.

Habitat
Habitat details as listed in assessment
This species occurs in the mixed evergreen forest and bamboo clumps in the northeast and southeast regions of Bangladesh. Binturongs are nocturnal and mostly solitary and tend to evade each other, but are not strictly territorial. They spend the majority of their time in tree but also have a high level of ground activity as they are too large to jump from tree to tree (Widmann et al. 2008). Binturongs have also been documented swimming and diving in order to obtain food (Cosson et al. 2007). Their prehensile tail acts as another limb as they climb slowly and carefully. Their hind legs can rotate backwards to enhance their back claws' ability to grasp as they climb trunks.
