In the extensive livestock production systems, characteristic of snow leopard landscapes, some amount of livestock losses to large carnivores will be inevitable, despite comprehensive measures to protect livestock. In some cases, such as the snow leopard habitats in India, governments have tried to help farmers through compensation programs, but these have largely been ineffective over the longer term in addressing the problem (Mishra, 1997). Smaller-scale community-managed livestock insurance programs have worked better and are currently in operation in several countries including China, India, Mongolia, Nepal, and Pakistan
