| Discovery of clouded leopard pelt in a high altitude settlement in Tapleyjung, Nepal | |
| 2021 Cat News (72): 27-28 | |
A pelt of clouded leopard _Neofelis nebulosa_ was discovered in a settlement of Tokpegola at an altitude of 3,751 m in Taplejung district lying in the north-east region of Nepal. The key informant revealed that the pelt was extracted from a clouded leopard killed in the forest adjacent to the village. The discovery of this pelt from this village, previous records of pelts from adjacent areas and the tradition of organising yearly trade festivals suggests that this area is under high risk of wildlife trade. |
