An annual census of the snow leopard and its potential preys (Himalayan tahr, musk deer, etc.) is carried out in collaboration with the SNP officials. The animals are traced through analyses of pugmarks and scrapes, while individuals are identified testing DNA contents in intestinal epithelium cells found in scats.
