This trend has decreased the prey populations of at-risk predators, such as snow leopards. Seeking alternative food sources, snow leopards and other predators attack local farmers' livestock. This livestock consists of yaks, oxen, horses, and goats.<ref name="Snow leopard Panthera uncia predati">{{cite journal |last1=Oli |first1=Madan K. |last2=Taylor |first2=Iain R. |last3=Rogers |first3=M.
