But it seems to me if I were a snow leopard I would be very tempted to invade a livestock and take the odd um cow or sheep or whatever it they have out there.
Um is this a problem and how do the locals l respond to that?
Is there resentment of the leopard?
You seem to suggest that the locals respect this animal, which seems to protect it, does it?
The other element when you think of people is the modern one.
People like me who travel to places like Mongolia and India and want to see all these wonderful things and want to twitch uh if that's the word, a snow leopard.
They want to see one, to uh record one, and they want to get their cameras out with long lenses and see them.
Now this on the one hand will
Well g be a case for the protection of snow leopards, but on the other hand is is an intrusion.
Even the camera crews, I've seen films and to cat the footage in them must have involved a close encounters with snow leopards.

Is tourism damaging them?
Is the public profile they get good or bad?

As you pointed out, the Himalaya is a plural noun in I think in Nepal one of the languages.
