Guarding the guardians of the Himalaya: Protecting snow leopards and wolves also protects the mountain ecosystem.
From NepaliTimes.com:
In the icy wilderness areas of High Asia, snow leopards glide like shadows across the snows as the haunting howls of Himalayan wolves echo across the crags.
In Nepal, high mountain dwellers have forged a delicate balance with these two elusive Himalayan predators, a timeless coexistence of human livelihoods with the wild. Snow leopards inhabit steep slopes at elevations from 3,000 to 5,500m. Wolves patrol more open stretches across grasslands and mountain meadows.
