| Pallas's cat photographed in Qurumber National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan | |
| 2014 Cat News (60): 21-22 | |
Camera trapping in Qurumber National Park QNP and the adjacent Community Managed Conservation Area CMCA in northern Pakistan yielded the first photographic evidence of the Pallas's cat Otocolobus manul in Gilgit-Baltistan Province. Although widely distributed in Central Asia, little is known about the status of Pallas's cat in Pakistan. This was the first camera trap study in QNP area and our results highlight the need for further studies targeting Pallas's cat and other rare species in northern Pakistan's mountain ecosystem. |
