Cover The 7,586 km2 Bhagirathi basin in Uttarakhand State, India, encompasses wilderness areas of various types and protection status that are exposed to a range of anthropogenic pressures. Extensive camera trapping over altitudes of 500–5,200 m recorded 39 species of mammals, including five categorized as Endangered, four as Vulnerable and four as Near Threatened. Five of the species recorded were hitherto undocumented in Uttarakhand State: the woolly hare Lepus oiostolus (pictured), argali Ovis ammon, Tibetan sand fox Vulpes ferrilata, Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx and woolly flying squirrel Eupetaurus cinereus. These findings highlight the importance of the Bhagirathi basin as a stronghold for the conservation of several threatened and rare mammal species. For further details, see pp. 657–667.
