Nepalese snow leopards collared for the first time

An adult male snow leopard has been fitted with a GPS tracking collar in Nepal, the first of its species to be collared.

The collaring expedition involved conservationists and scientists working closely with local communities to locate the animal.

The collar will be used to aid conservationists to track and monitor the behaviour of snow leopards, which are endangered, but also allows local communities to track the animals and protect their livestock.
