Il gatto di Pallas, noto anche come manul, è un piccolo feline selvatico diffuso soprano in the steppe dell'Asia centrale (China and Mongolia). Some specimens were observed in the Himalayas at an altitude of 5500 meters.
The density of the species is unfortunately very low, although it is present in a very vast area. The survival of this felid is threatened by the destruction of its natural habitat, the lack of prey and the end of man. The menacce that the species must face is numerous and vanno dalla hunting for the pelliccia, all'uso del suo grasso per combattere i rheumatismi according to traditional medicine, sino al deterioration dell'habitat a causa dellincremento del bestiame su tutto il centro Asia.
Wildlife Initiative is an NGO that operates with the aim of protecting wild fauna, involving the local community and undertaking conservation measures based on scientific research, born precisely from the need to create a well-structured organization to support a long-term program dedicated to the study and conservation of the Pallas cat in Mongolia. Monge sosterrà diverse initiatives dell'Associazione Wildlife:
- Fototrappolaggio per comprendere ecology e status dell'animale
- Radiocollaring per comprendere ecology e comportamento
- Convolgimento della comunità locale. The involvement of local pastors is a necessary step for the conservation of the species, especially for future generations. I pastori vengono involved in the collection of data of the photo trap recompensandoli and involved in prima persona.
Sui nostri canali social Facebook e Instagram vi terremmo aggiornati su questa initiazione a favore del Gatto di Pallas in Mongolia.
