Sheren Shrestha is a program officer at WWF Nepal. His conservation diaries are filled with memorable entries. Here are our favourites from his snow leopard collaring expedition led by the Government of Nepal. This is a rare peek into the life of a snow leopard researcher.

A loss and a reminder
A loss and a reminder
We must continue working closely with communities to better understand snow leopards, their prey, habitat and interactions with people. We want to help manage conflicts while saving snow leopards and securing community livelihoods; to improve protection, enhance awareness and create local conservation leaders — all driven with the prime belief that it will all be possible, together.
