Above the upper border of the forest, human shares the same habitats with marmots on the alluvial terraces of river valleys. Human buildings and farmland lead to fragmentation of the marmot population, and overgrazing leads to pasture digression, worsening the food supply of these rodents. At the same time, people regularly catch marmots with loops, while, in accordance with the criteria of the IUCN Red List, the population of the Himalayan marmot in Nepal should be classified as Endangered (EN) - a very high risk of extinction in the wild.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Обсуждается воздействие человека на популяцию гималайского сурка в Непале. Выше верхней границы леса человек разделяет с сурками одни и те же места обитания на аллювиальных террасах речных долин. Постройки человека и сельскохозяйственные угодья приводят к фрагментации популяции сурков, а перевыпас скота - к пастбищной дигрессии, ухудшающей кормовую базу этих грызунов. Одновременно с этим люди регулярно ловят сурков петлями, в то время как, в соответствии с критериями Красного списка МСОП, популяцию гималайского сурка в Непале целесообразно отнести к категории Endangered (EN) - очень высокий риск вымирания в дикой природе.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Himalayan marmot</kwd><kwd>Himalaya</kwd><kwd>Nepal</kwd><kwd>anthropogenic factors</kwd><kwd>the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>гималайский сурок</kwd><kwd>Гималаи</kwd><kwd>Непал</kwd><kwd>антропогенные факторы</kwd><kwd>Красный список МСОП</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Rumiantsev VYu.
