SNOW LEOPARD- A THREAT OR A SOURCE OF INCOME- BHUTAN



People in high mountains of Bhutan possess different perspective about the endangered species, snow leopard. According to the herders, they are threat because they kill about 12 yaks a year and they do not get any compensation from government. While another set of locals believe that if there wouldn’t be the snow leopard then there would be high competition of grazing yaks with increased number of blue sheep. Thus they opine that they must be conserved and tourism should be enhanced which will contribute to enhancing their livelihood.
