Implications of landscape genetics and connectivity of snow leopard in the Nepalese Himalayas for its conservation

B. Shrestha and P. Kindlmann

Discover how snow leopard conservation in the Nepalese Himalayas is enhanced through the study of landscape genetics and connectivity. This research, conducted by Bikram Shrestha and Pavel Kindlmann, reveals critical migration corridors and highlights the importance of protecting these areas to ensure the survival of snow leopard metapopulations.

Abstract
This paper investigates the implications of landscape genetics and connectivity for snow leopard conservation in the Nepalese Himalayas. Using habitat suitability maps and genetic analysis, the study identifies suitable habitats, describes the genetic structure of snow leopard populations, and reveals crucial migration corridors. The findings highlight the necessity of protecting these corridors to maintain gene flow and ensure the long-term viability of snow leopard metapopulations.
