We had great turn outs at our workshops for villagers! We explain distemper and how it affects dogs and wildlife. Dog owners volunteered their dogs for blood tests, and wanted to know what distemper symptoms looked like and where they could get veterinary help.

Our work relies on bringing people and their animals together. Our work matters because we go to places without doctors and healthcare. We aim to continue our work responsibly and focus on the long term. Healthy dogs protect people and wildlife. Healthy people protect the planet.

It has been a difficult decision for us to suspend our work since COVID changed our world last year. But news like this assures us that we have made the right decision. https://t.co/FfpduU6oTD

As vaccines rolled out, and the world began to open, we considered resuming our work. But even with our team vaccinated, we could be carriers. We want to continue our work, but precisely because our goal is to "Protect Human and Animal Heath", we contemplated the costs carefully.

Wildlife live amongst us and when our domestic animals (like dogs) harm them, it is our responsibility to act.

An outbreak of #canine #distemper has impacted free-roaming #dogs in our Himalayan neighbour, Bhutan. Bhutanese officials have so far reported sickness in domestic dogs. Impact on #wildlife remains unknown. Reason to remain vigilant!👩‍⚕️💉🐾 https://t.co/MuxQYQfchc

ENDANGERED DEER killed in Himalaya #Nepal. Lockdowns mean conservationists and park rangers cannot do their work. It also means rural communities don't have access to resources that are provided by transport networks that have been cut. https://t.co/3zL5D1mHtc

[2014] Domestic dogs in rural villages depend on food waste to survive. Where there is more food waste, especially during tourist season, there are more dogs. But what happens when the tourists leave? Often they go into forests to hunt for #wildlife https://t.co/IeQ26buVTL

Several snow leopards, including a mother and her cub, have been spotted near the Kazakh city of Almaty wandering through a usually popular hiking destination that is now mostly off limits due to the coronavirus lockdown. Photo: Snow Leopard Foundation https://t.co/N6X2ApL9a4

CORONAVIRUSES CAUSED BY THE COLD?
This photo was taken by #HimalayanMuttProject Leader Mukhiya Gotame in the Annapurna Conservation Area, thought to be distemper-free because of the cold. Our research has shown that dogs have active infections during cold seasons too. 🌨❄️☃️

"#Carnivore conservation interventions should target the whole predator guild to achieve long‐term success and to protect the #Himalayan ecosystem at large." Leave no carnivore behind! Nice work by @Explorer_Naresh and team! https://t.co/1I3yKgyLG9 @HimalayanMutts

5 new human diseases emerge every year, 3 are of animal origin. Why it benefits PEOPLE to look out for animal health.
