| Clouded leopard and marbled cat in the socio-ecological landscape of Skkim, India | |
| 2021 Cat News (72): 21-23 | |
We report the first camera trap records of two threatened cats, clouded leopard _Neofelis nebulosa_ and marbled cat _Pardofelis marmorata_ from the socio-ecological landscape of Sikkim Himalaya. The clouded leopard was photo-captured at 1,263 m on 26 February 2020 and the marbled cat at 2,069 m on 26 April 2020 in Dzongu, North Sikkim, India. Their occurrence highlights the significance of the agroecosystem matrix for the conservation of these threatened cats. We recommend intensive studies on the ecology of the species in these landscapes to better understand their actual distribution range, population status and threats in Sikkim Himalaya. |
