註釋This book is about a magnificent Himalayan landscape bestowed with a transcendental and transforming ambience. Written by a diverse set of people, all brought together by a fascination for nature, a flair for adventure and a shared concern for the future of our planet's bio diversity, it captures the rythm and nuances of mountain life in all it's beauty, charm and compexity. The contributors range from a local community educator to a young man just out of high school on another continent;from a doctoral scholar to a scientist and from a student intern to the most respected legendary conservationist of our time -----Dr. George Schaller. This book is not so much about how their work has impacted the conservation of the Himalayan biodiversity; rather, it is about how the Himalayan experience has impacted each one of them, their world views, their emotions and their conservation journeys. This book is a sort of homeage to Spiti Valley. It is a celebration of Spiti's enchanting landscape; and of her peoples, culture and the fascinating diversity of life including the almost mythical, grey ghost of the mountains-----the snow leopard.
