Snow Leopard Diary (BBC)
A research project is under way to learn more about the elusive snow leopard.

A team has travelled to the Chitral Gol National Park in the Pakistan-Afghanistan borders to attach Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) collars to five of the cats, to understand more about the animals' movements.

With one snow leopard successfully tagged, the team is hopeful its mission will be a success, and the team members will be charting their progress for the BBC News website.

The final instalment comes from Dr Tom McCarthy, project leader and conservation director of the Snow Leopard Trust.
