I think Ashiq's dream of transboundary collaboration on protection of remaining wild cats in border areas will get a big boost following Carl's entry into SL Network. All thanks to Carl for such an excellent footage. Using High-Tech to spot a Snow Leopard in war zone by Carl and sharing the live picture with us is fascinating.

No doubt the area of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan along with the Nooristan Province support handsome population of Snow Leopard and is thriving there but the same remained a question mark on the other side of the boarder. I wish to see the dream of Mr Ashiq Ahmad Khan come true to have a transe border nation park to ensure protection of the snow leopard and other allied species before it is too late. Nevertheless, efforts of Carl are tremendous and the credit must go to him though side by side it is high time for the SLN and other conservation organisation to think about the capacity building of the concerned departments haveing presence in each nook and corner of the country to amaze us with such information on a sustainable basis. Had Carl would have not been equiped with those high tech equipments, probably we would have not enjoyed this news item.

Carl is to be congratulated. The efforts are appreciated and, surely, this shall be the beginning of conservation initiative in the specified zone, sooner or later. This could also be the target of trans-boundary collaboration between Pakistan and Afghanistan for the protection of snow leopards in the border region. Credit shall always go to Carl. Carl may join the snow leopard network. Ashiq Ahmad Khan Chairman, Steering Committee, Snowleopard network This was amazing footage. Carl is to be congratulated.
