Summary: Taylor goes beyond the Yeti question. To his surprise, his hunt, with some scientific answersacquires a Himalayan depth, evolving into exploring a concept much greater than the mystery and leading him to a more enriching mission. He leaves behind his own imprint by creating two vast national parks in the region after recognising that the wilderness is fast disappearing. Murali N. Krishnaswamy, The Hindu (August 2017) What started out as a yeti hunt then led toconservation efforts that earned Taylor accolades (a knighthood from the king of Nepal, a Dutch honour and the first honorary professorship of quantitative ecology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences) in the world of conservation. Shail Desai, Live Mint (October 2017)
