the planet at an altitude of 4 ,270

meters.

S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
Kaozang has worked for the Nature Conservation Foundation,

S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
tracking and protecting snow leopards across Spiti Valley.
2:07
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
With around 50 animals scattered across these mountains,
2:12
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
his work involves dangerous trekking.
2:31
S… Speaker 4 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
Although usually
2:41
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
very elusive,
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
snow leopards have ventured into human settlements in search of food.
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
It is thought this could be because of a scarcity of prey
2:50
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
in the wild.

S… Speaker 4 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
The people
3:34
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
of Kibur and Chicha village have been helping the Himachal Pradesh Forest Department
3:39
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
and the NCF to monitor wildlife and carry out conservation activities.

S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
help ensure sustainable human animal coexistence

S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
as snow leopards are an apex predator
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
healthy population numbers are more likely to indicate a
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
healthy number of prey species and abundant vegetation all
4:35
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
signs of a balanced ecosystem
4:46
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
But conservation in one of the highest altitudes on earth isn't
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
easy.

S… Speaker 5 (Saving The Elusive Snow Leopard - Guardians - BBC Earth)
We have to do this.

so monitoring them provides insights into the effect of climate change
