Abstrakt
The most important habitats for snow leopard in the world are in Nepal and studies on this elusive predator began there much earlier than elsewhere, but the results are scattered in the literature. The review presented in this chapter therefore aims to compile the results of the Nepalese studies, which over the last four decades consist of several published and unpublished manuscripts, and to summarize different aspects of snow leopard biology, ecology, threats and conservation with a particular emphasis on Nepal (in contrast to Chap. 1, which concentrates on global aspects).
It is expected that this review will serve as a baseline for future studies and the formulation of ways of managing and conserving snow leopard in Nepal.
