Interactions Between the Himalayan Tahr, Livestock and Snow Leopards in the Sagarmatha National Park
Original language description
Competition between wild ungulates and livestock for resources and interactions between these two and large predators are widely regarded as a major management issue in the Himalayas. Real data supporting these claims are scarce, but badly needed for developing good management strategies, which will effectively protect both wild ungulates and their predators in the Himalayas. Our study was done in August/September of 2006 in the Mongla and Phortse regions of the Sagarmatha National Park (SNP) with the aim of determining: (i) habitat overlap between tahr and domestic livestock, (ii) overlap in diets of tahr and domestic livestock, (iii) the effect of predators on tahr and (iv) explore the composition of vegetation in the region. Vantage points and regular monitoring from trails were used to observe the tahr and livestock. Direct observation and micro histological techniques were used to determine the overlap in diets of tahr and livestock. Diet of snow leopard was determined by scat ana
