| First photographic evidence of snow leopard from Lippa Asrang Wildlife Sanctuary, India | |
| 2019 Cat News (69): 17-18 | |
We report the first photographic evidence of snow leopard _Panthera uncia_ presence in Lippa Asrang Wildlife Sanctuary WLS in Himachal Pradesh, India. Camera trapping was done for the first time in this remote WLS situated in the Kinnaur district. The camera trap was triggered by snow leopard at an altitude of 3,938 m. Presence of snow leopard beyond known areas indicates good snow leopard population and opens new avenues for the conservation of the species. |
