Two new species were recently recorded in Nepal for the first time by Panthera Kaplan scholar and PhD fellow, Madhu Chetri! Camera trap images taken in May and June, shown here, identified the Steppe polecat (a relative of the black-footed ferret) and the Tibetan or Himalayan wolf in Nepal’s Annapurna-Manaslu landscape! Initiated by the National Trust for Nature Conservation & supported by the Panthera Kaplan Graduate Awards, the USAID Hariyo Ban Program and Hedmark University College, Norway, a long-term ecological study is now working to assess the conservation status of the endangered snow leopard and wolf in Nepal’s Annapurna-Manaslu landscape.
