Implications of landscape genetics and connectivity of snow leopard in the Nepalese Himalayas for its conservation.

Abstract excerpt

The snow leopard is one of the most endangered large mammals. Its population, already low, is declining, most likely due to the consequences of human activity, including a reduction in the size and number of suitable habitats.
