Description
Keji Guo and a large team present a 2026 camera-trap survey of mammals in Luolong County, Tibet, in an area without formal protection. Protected reserves anchor conservation, yet much wildlife lives outside them, and the value of such land is often unmeasured. The team set out to document what this county's habitats still hold.
Cameras recorded a rich mammal community, richest in scrub and evergreen forest. Notable species included musk deer, Chinese serow, and woolly hares among plant eaters, plus common leopards, snow leopards, red foxes, and stone martens among hunters. Detection patterns for different species were linked through shared environmental factors. The authors argue that this unprotected landscape functions as an intact ecosystem and deserves a place in conservation planning for the region.
