| First ever record of a snow leopard in Kugti Wildlife Sanctuary, Himachal Pradesh | |
| 2012 Cat News (57): 26-27 | |
The snow leopard _Panthera uncia_ is one of the most elusive high altitude species on earth. Despite global conservation efforts, its numbers are declining. In India, states encompassing the Himalayan region constitute the range and habitat of the snow leopard. Extensive surveys and community-based conservation efforts in and around its known range are essential in the long term. Here we present a sighting and first photographic evidence of a snow leopard in Kugti Wildlife Sanctuary KWS of Himachal Pradesh. |
