For all its distinctive features, the Mishmi takin remains poorly studied in India.

The researchers analysed more than 17,000 independent camera

The study identified bushmeat hunting as a major threat and called for more extensive research into the species' distribution, population and habitat.

That lack of information matters. Without knowing where takins move, where they gather and which habitats they depend on, it becomes harder to protect the species across its range.

So, a winter journey through Dibang Valley is not only a search for an unusual Himalayan herbivore.

It is also a journey through the connected habitats that allow the Mishmi takin to survive — forests where it can shelter, bamboo-rich areas where it can feed, and open mountain grasslands where the forest gives way to the high Himalayas.
