Sampling comments: "We conducted a camera-trapping survey in the Limi Valley during July and August, 2015 to conduct a rapid assessment of Snow Leopard status. We divided the total study area into 5x5 km2 grid cells... and placed one or two cameras in each grid... We set up 17 Bushnell Trophy HD cameras in 17 locations (Fig. 1) within 10 grids... A minimum distance between camera-traps was kept at 2.5km, and they were placed at elevations from 3,092–4,608 m... One camera-trap was lost thus only data from the remaining 16 camera-traps were used in the analysis... We defined capture events as independent images of a species at a location captured at least 60 minutes apart"
