This article is about the endangered species commonly known as Wild Asian Water buffalo. For the abundant domestic livestock varieties descended from it, see Domestic Asian Water buffalo. True Wild Asian Water Buffalo or Wild Asiatic Water Buffalo is an endangered species, it is thought to survive in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Thailand. It is a large ungulate and a member of the bovine subfamily and the ancestor of all the abundant Domestic Asian Water buffalo varieties and breeds which have descended from it.

The IUCN Red List of threatened species classifies "Wild Asian Water Buffalo" (B. arnee) [1] as an Endangered species. The total number of wild Asian Buffalo left is thought to be less than 4,000, which suggests that the number of mature individuals will be less than 2,500, and an estimated continuing decline of at least 20 per cent within 14 years (ca. two generations) and at least 50 percent within 21 years seems likely given the severity of the threats, especially hybridization with the abundant domestic water buffalo leading to Genetic Pollution.[2][3] The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List and Red Data List), created in 1963, is the worlds most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species and can be found here. ...

The slightly smaller African Buffalo is not closely related to the Wild Asian Water buffalo and its ancestry remains unclear.[4] Owing to African Buffalo’s unpredictable nature which makes them highly dangerous to humans, and not having been domesticated like their Asian counterpart, Domestic Asian Water Buffalo is the product of thousands of years of selective breeding carried out by highly evolved ancient Asian civilizations, specially in India. Binomial name Syncerus caffer (Sparrman, 1779) Subspecies The African Buffalo or Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a bovid from the family of the Bovidae. ...

Taxonomic Notes: Bubalus arnee The name Bubalus bubalis was originally applied to Domestic Asian Water buffalo, but some authorities do not consider this valid for the wild population and use the specific name arnee instead[5]. Grubb (in Wilson & Reeder 1993) mentions that bubalis is the senior synonym.
Genetic pollution and threat of extinction Wild Asian Water Buffalo are threatened by genetic pollution when they come into contact with common abundant Domestic Asian Water Buffalo which live in and around forests. The domesticated animals daily graze within forests which have been designated as wildlife sanctuaries and national parks for their wild ancestors[6][7][8][9][10]. The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. ...
Modern uses Wildlife and conservation scientists have started to recommend and use introduced populations of feral Domestic Asian Water buffalos in far away lands to manage uncontrolled vegetation growth in and around natural wetlands. Introduced Asian Water Buffalo at home in such environs provide cheap service by regularly grazing the uncontrolled vegetation and opening up clogged water bodies for waterfowl, wetland birds and other wildlife[11][12].
