Educational Booklet designed for teachers. It offers a lesson plan using ancient Buddhist stories as well as the information on snow leopard in Bhutan. This booklet is a product of a Snow Leopard Conservation Grant.
The Irbis System
The Irbis System monitors VHF transmitters and makes an alarm when the state of a transmitter changes. The Irbis System is designed for monitoring of trapsite transmitters such as Telonics TBT-500. It makes an alarm when an animal is trapped. This alarm occurs within a few minutes from capture. The time that trapped animals spend in traps is reduced to a minimum, reducing the risk to the animal. The alarm triggers a siren loud enough to wake a sleeping person.
