Limi Valley’s alpine pastures host unique biodiversity and centuries-old traditions, but growing livestock herds and new roads are straining this fragile ecosystem.

[Naresh Kusi @Explorer_Naresh]

After the recent Thermokarst Lake Outburst Flood (TLOF) in Til Village, Limi Valley, the Limiwa community has launched a fundraising campaign to support those affected.

Dire wolves are not back.

Pups created by gene editing grey wolves are not true dire wolves, say canid conservation experts. Recreating the Ice Age sounds exciting, but it won't save what's still wild. #Conservation #Biodiversity #GeneEditing #direwolf

@rashmi89singh @rishieco You mean a more positive attitude towards wolves compared to snow leopards? Would be wonderful if there are any related literature!

[Naresh Kusi @Explorer_Naresh]

Himalayan wolves and snow leopards are vital for ecological balance in alpine ecosystem. But, disparities in public perceptions and conservation priorities between them complicate human-wildlife coexistence in the region.

Young wolves on the grasslands, the joy is real—welcome to the childhood documentary of wolf pups on the #Gyatong Grassland. However, in the survival-of-the-fittest natural world, it is truly challenging for wild animals to grow up carefree . #wolf

When we think of pollinators, we picture bees or birds, but even wolves can get in on the action!

In Ethiopia, the fiery blooms of Kniphofia foliosa lure Ethiopian wolves with sweet nectar. Can wolves be pollinators?

New camera trap evidence shows brown bears have a wider distribution in Nepal than previously known, with a stronghold in Limi Valley of NW Nepal and extending its global range south-westwards.

Kusi et al. present new camera-trap evidence of brown bears in Limi Valley, Nepal, extending the species' global range south-westward & highlighting Limi Valley as a stronghold for the bears in Nepal, where there are estimated to be <20 mature individuals: https://t.co/sgMjlKnYUa

[Naresh Kusi @Explorer_Naresh]

@jetbutterflies That's mentioned in the paper and also shown in the map 😊

[Naresh Kusi @Explorer_Naresh]

We unveil an incredible discovery of brown bears in unexpected locations of Limi Valley, north-western Nepal. These new records expand the distribution range of the brown bear in Nepal and extend its global range to the southwest.

A conservation note on a complex yet infrequently described conflict involving marginalized people and associated livelihoods at the extreme edges of Earth when their domestic stock is lost to wild ancestors.

A genetic analysis of more than two dozen Chinese mountain cats concludes that the creature is not its own species, but rather a subspecies of feline that gave rise to several modern wildcats and the domestic cat. #ScienceMagArchives https://t.co/7ARLlaQMzT

Happy to share our paper on Indian wolves (Indian peninsular and Himalayan wolves).
Indian wolves are unique and ancient with no gene flow between the wolves.
