Nepal - Snow leopard tracked
Print Edition
Wildlife experts in Nepal are tracking a rare snow leopard by using a collar with a satellite link to discover how climate change and human encroachment are affecting its habitat, officials said on Wednesday.
The male cat was captured in a snare at the base of Mount Kangchenjunga on the Nepal-India border last month and fitted with the collar which uses a GPS tracking system.
Climate change is causing temperatures to rise, meaning snow leopards must move further up mountain slopes where prey is scarcer, experts say.
Snow leopards also face threats from hunters who kill them for their luxuriant spotted coats.
