World authority
Wildlife biologist Rodney Jackson has mounted a complex programme of radio-tracking one of the rarest, most elusive and endangered creatures in the world – the Himalayan snow leopard.
"I’ve always felt that the success to preserving the snow leopards is to foster community-based stewardship of the species.”
Jackson, now acknowledged as a world authority on snow leopards, has succeeded in bringing together various groups to work on their international protection.
