Fishing cats are a unique species found in India, particularly in wetland areas like the Sundarbans and parts of the Western Ghats. These cats are known for their ability to swim and catch fish, which is a key part of their diet. In India, the fishing cat is considered a vital indicator of wetland health and is often studied in the context of the UPSC （Union Public Service Commission） exams for environmental and wildlife conservation topics. Local products related to fishing cats include eco-tourism initiatives that promote awareness and conservation efforts, such as guided tours in protected areas. Additionally, handicrafts made by local communities, featuring motifs of fishing cats, help generate income while spreading knowledge about this endangered species. These products not only support livelihoods but also align with India\“s goals for sustainable development and biodiversity protection, as emphasized in UPSC syllabi. |
