Synopsis

Told largely by Ladakhis themselves, and compiled by the primary author in the course of several journeys with her two Ladakhi co-authors, who are rangers for Hemis National Park, the Tales illustrate contemporary life of Ladakhis and snow leopards in the Park. The purposes of the Tales include: support the conservation of Hemis National Park (in Ladakh, India); contribute information on the natural history of the snow leopard; preserve Ladakhi traditional stories and songs related to the Park that are at risk of being lost; and provide an example for other parks of how their human and non-human populations could approach living together sustainably.

About this title

About the Author:

In the early 1980s, approaching age thirty and searching for fresh perspectives after several years of practicing law, the primary author took a sabbatical for a most uncharacteristic (she loathes exercise) long and high Himalayan trek. Returning with enough new perspectives to fill several lifetimes, she reoriented her professional career and much of her personal time to focus on the ocean. That seminal trek sowed other seeds, whose fruits now include “Tales of the Snow Leopard.”
