In a remote #village of Kungyam in #Ladakh, people revived livestock herding recently. #EncounterUncia

@Dorjayncf and I got a call from the herders of the village to predator-proof their newly built corral. #EncounterUncia

On a chilly November morning, when we reached the village, we were shocked! A #snowleopard had entered the corral that very night. #EncounterUncia

It has killed more than 3 #pashmina goats. Any amount of loss is heartbreaking for a herder.

Amazingly, the people of Kungyam were tolerant and understanding. They were willing to release the cat and predator-proof their corrals. Know more about this new design in our talk tomorrow. #EncounterUncia #ConservationOptimism

This made us realize even though loses are inevitable being able to respond quickly to a community’s grievance helps in building long-term trust and partnerships. #EncounterUncia
