		Other than the numbers and distribution of the livestock, the wildlife ecologist and his team also gathered information on various aspects of how the villagers keep their livestock.
		He found that while some people herd their cows and buffaloes into the forest during the day and bring them back in the evening, others simply let their animals forage freely in the wilderness, especially during the rainy season, to prevent their heavy hooves from trampling on the crops in their farmland.
		So it is possible that foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax or other ailments suffered by some of the livestock could be passed on to their wild relatives.

		The report, however, was again rejected, with insufficient wildlife data again cited as the main reason.
		While in one section, the report states that about 90 per cent of their 407 species are ''intermediate", meaning they have no clear status due to a lack of information, it also concludes that 209 of the species (around 50 per cent) will be able to adapt themselves to the project.
