Iconic and conservation-significant species representing Kashmir's biodiversity heritage
Ficedula subrubra
Strict breeding endemic flycatcher of Kashmir Valley deciduous and mixed forests. Males sport rich rufous-orange underparts bordered by black, nesting in tree cavities in Dachigam and Overa-Aru.
Catreus wallichii
A vulnerable long-tailed crest pheasant specializing in rugged, steep grassy ravines and scrubby precipices of the Pir Panjal and lower Chenab basin.
Schizothorax niger
Endemic lacustrine snow trout restricted to the Kashmir Valley lakes (Dal, Wular, Manasbal, Anchar). Characterized by fine scales, dark olive-bronze back, and blunt snout. Severely threatened by eutrophication, siltation, and direct competition with introduced common carp.
Aconitum heterophyllum
Aconitum heterophyllum (Patis / Atis) is an alpine jewel flowering in subalpine meadows between 2,500m and 4,000m. Highly celebrated as 'the child’s physician' (Shishu Bhaishajya) in traditional medicine, its non-toxic bitter tubers are the foremost remedy for malarial and intermittent fevers.
