Elephant Footprints & Conservation: A Wildlife Exploration for a Cause

In a video posted to The Sasquatch Archives YouTube channel, Peter Byrne, a renowned bigfoot researcher, shares his experiences and insights from his time spent in Nepal. During a meeting of the Western Bigfoot Society in 1992, Byrne discusses the conservation efforts in Nepal and the methods used to protect the endangered rhinoceros population. Byrne speaks about the use of armed guards, specifically Gurkha soldiers, to combat poaching in Nepal's national parks and reserves. He mentions that this approach has been successful in increasing the rhino population from 160 to over 450 and eliminating poaching in the area. The researcher also shares his involvement in establishing a reserve in Nepal, which has since grown to 100,000 acres and is home to various species, including the last heard of swamp deer in Asia, tigers, leopards, and crocodiles. In addition to conservation efforts, Byrne discusses his work on a book about a large elephant called "Two and a Half - The Last Great Elephant." He shares the story of measuring an elephant with a 22-inch foot, which was the largest on record in British India and Nepal at the time. Towards the end of the video, Byrne touches on the topic of bigfoot sightings in the Himalayas, mentioning a group of Explorers Club members who found large, bare feet with five toes while trekking in the area. The path they were on was later named "Sasquatch Pass" due to this encounter. Overall, the video provides valuable insights into Peter Byrne's work in Nepal and his thoughts on bigfoot sightings in the Himalayas.
