The Significance of Snow Leopard Conservation

Snow leopards are found across 12 countries in the high mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. With only about 3,500–7,000 individuals left in the wild, protecting these apex predators ensures the balance of fragile alpine ecosystems and safeguards water sources for millions downstream.

Global initiatives like the Global Snow Leopard & Ecosystem Protection Program (GSLEP) highlight the importance of cross-border collaboration and community-based conservation.
