Primary consumers are animals which are the first to consume primary producers i.e., plants. Large mammals like the animals in this graphic regulate ecosystem functions and in-turn climate by their ability to move travel far and wide. 1/3

In the process they disperse seeds, promote plant growth by being nature's gardeners and aiding in maintaining nutrient cycles by breaking down complex compounds such as carbohydrates and protein which in-turn is released back into the nutrient cycles or act as natural fertiliser

2. Creation of wind farms on buildings and already human-dominated #landscape is an important possibility. 3. Creation of avian and other predator friendly wind farms (eg. painting the blades) that can ensure the healthy functioning of the foodweb in the #lizards's region.

5. We can also help the state forest departments, which are focussing on protecting the GIB, by contributing to strengthening their surveillance equipment and to creating local community-led monitoring initiatives.
