“East of the alps, our work will focus on places which are difficult for ground hunters to access, but where there are high numbers of tahr. “The plan recognises the need to continue managing the Himalayan tahr population to balance the need for nature to thrive with the interests of hunters. “This year’s operational plan has been designed to manage tahr in areas throughout the feral range where they remain at high densities – targeting the right tahr in the right place.” Holborow said the new plan differs from previous years in that there are some management units where no official control work will take place this year.
