Recovery of snow leopard in Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) National Park, Nepal. 2007. Oryx. Vol. 41 No. 1
Som Ale, Pralad Yonzon and Kamal Thapa
Following their disappearence 40 years ago, snow leopards appear to have re-inhabited Sagarmatha where we conducted surveys in three major valleys (Mount Everest). Sagarmatha is the homeland of 3,500 Buddhist Sherpas with 3,000 livestock.
