In the high-altitude landscapes of Ladakh, the future of the snow leopard is inseparable from the wellbeing of the communities who share that landscape. This work supports community-led conservation that reduces livestock losses and strengthens local livelihoods, using a One Health approach to human-wildlife coexistence.
