Rest in peace, the Warrior!


A.J.T. Johnsingh passed away on 7 June. The sphere of the Indian wildlife and ecology lost one of its massive pillars. Asir Jawahar Thomas Johnsingh (14 October 1945 – 7 June 2024) was an Indian vertebrate ecologist from Tamil Nadu. Johnsingh's study of the Dhole in Bandipur National Park was the first study of a free-ranging animal by an Indian scientist. Author and editor of numerous editions, his departure rendered an eternal void.
