Land sharing potential of large carnivores in human-modified landscapes of western India? used an occupancy framework to provide baseline information on patterns and determinants of large carnivore presence in human-use landscapes. In their letter, Shrotriya et al. raise concerns about our survey design, distort our inferences, and present unwarranted exaggeration of our study limitations. Here, we provide detailed responses to key the issues raised by the authors while reiterating the accurate interpretations of our findings.
