Ongoing outreach efforts include distributing wolf information booklets, providing Foxlights, and engaging in informal conversations with herders about wildlife and coexistence 🐺🌙
These moments of exchange are key — building understanding while supporting communities with tools.

Wild yak presence continues to be documented in Upper Limi 🐂🏔️
So far, it still appears that only males are using this habitat. Our team continues long-term monitoring of wild yaks in the region, tracking their persistence in these remote high-altitude landscapes 🌿

🏔️ The Himalayas we work in, home to the wolves, snow leopards, are extremely fragile and very unpredictable in ways not always visible until moments like this.
Our hearts and prayers are with all the people and animals affected by this tragedy in Nepal and across the border.
Stay safe.

🐺🏔️ New research on Himalayan wolf activity!
Our latest study reveals how Himalayan wolves adjust their activity according to the seasonal availability of their key prey in Upper Humla, Nepal.
Understanding these interactions is essential for building effective wildlife conservation and coexistence

🚨 🚨🚨🚨🚨Foxlights are appreciated by local herders — both sheep/goat herders and yak/jhoppa herders alike 🐑🐐🐂
The Foxlights emit an erratic light at night, powered by solar energy. The flashing light imitates a human patrolling the herd at night 🌙
Using 1–3 lights per herd helps keep the herd safe

Dogs can be part of the solutions for wildlife conservation 🐕🏔️
By supporting humans in protecting livestock. But if not well kept, they easily become part of the problem ⚠️
Observations reveal an extremely concerning rise in free-roaming and diseased dogs across Upper Humla.

key piece of the system 🐿️🏔️
In Upper Humla (Nepal), Himalayan marmots become an important prey for the Himalayan wolf during the milder months. As the landscape thaws and productivity increases, these social rodents play a central role in sustaining predator populations.

Early summer, close to home 🐺🌱
In June, as the warm season begins, Himalayan wolf packs stay close to their core areas, centered around den sites and key activity zones.
Season of pups. Hidden but growing fast, the new generation depends entirely on the pack, How many can you see here? 🔎

Livestock as part of the system 🐂🏔️
In the high Himalayas, livestock is more than a livelihood, it is part of the ecosystem itself. Grazing animals shape vegetation, influence nutrient cycles, and share the landscape together with wild herbivores.

The ice and snow retreat ❄️➡️🌱
A new cycle begins in the high Himalayas. After surviving a long and demanding winter, the Himalayan wolf regains strength and prepares for one of the most critical moments of its life cycle: raising a new litter of wolf pups
Timing is everything. In these environments

Small but deadly 🐾
In this image, an Altai weasel (Mustela altaica) carries a pika larger than itself, a striking reminder that size means little when it comes to predatory efficiency.
Don’t be fooled by its small body.

A silent presence in the landscape 🐆🌄
The lynx (Lynx lynx), Palearctic predator, is highly adapted to cold and arid environments. Across Central Asia, it occupies rocky terrain, and high-altitude habitats above the tree line, including the Tibetan Plateau and the northern slopes of the Himalayas.

Life thrives under pressure 🐇🏔️

The presence of top predators is not a limitation for ecosystems — it is part of what allows them to function.

As winter fades, the Himalayan wolf begins to change its coat, shedding the thick fur that helped it endure the harsh cold months.
The wolf mating season is about to come to an end and the new cycle of raising pups is starting for the mated wolf pair.
