Snow Leopard Photos from Annapurna
From the email of Som Ale, the Snow Leopard Conservancy's Regional Conservation Director for Nepal:
One of the cameras that Pema set in a rugged canyon across Lomanthang khola took some pictures of snow leopards. Three cats are clearly visible but take a close look, the fourth one may be behind them. Two things may be clear: one, these cameras are functioning well, and two, snow leopard may be doing good in upper Mustang largely because of SLC/ACAP’s constant conservation and education effort! Pema wrote me earlier that the cameras did not take too many pictures as they would have in case of malfunctioning. I have asked him for some more details about the snow leopard site and cameras.
Our congratulations to Pema Tsering, our Program Coordinator in Mustang, Nepal for getting such a remarkable set of photos and our thanks for forwarding them to us. Do you think there is a fourth figure there? Those of us in the office in California think they eyes are too far apart to be another cat.
We also thank the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) for the great work they are doing.
