    Description

    In Pauri Garhwal in India, the Leopard has been in conflict with the local people for hundreds of years. Every year people are injured by leopards and leopards regularly kill families' livestock.
    In 2018, researchers from the Wildlife Institute of India began a year-long experiment to test the efficacy of a light – the fox light and found some surprising results. Can a simple LED light help people's relationship with the Indian leopard?
    This episode features Dipanjan Naha from the Wildlife Institute of India and Ian Whalan the creator of the Fox Light.

    Lions, tigers and leopards are just some of the 40 species of wild cat around the world that are under threat. Join me, as we travel to every corner of the globe to hear the incredible stories from the people and communities working to study and protect all species of wild cat. Wild cat conservation is more than just cats - by protecting cats, we save other species in their ecosystems, we help local communities in their habitats and we conserve huge swathes of precious land across the planet. Cats of the Wild is an original, not-for-profit podcast by Andy Varvel.
