Snow Leopards are not extinct they are an endangered species Well, like most leopards people try to hunt them for their furs and bones. They use bones for a medicine. That is one reason, I'm not sure of others though.

The biggest threat to snow leopards like most other endangered animals are humans. Humans hunt them for their fur and their bones. Humans also destroy their habitat and food sources.
Snow leopards are also endangered because when their habitat is destroyed, the countries where they live are not rebuilding their habitat, and if they are, it is not successful. in 1994,
A raid on a group of traders in Srinagar that hauled more than $1 million worth of furs and garments made from 1,366 of the world's most endangered wild cats, tigers, snow and clouded leopards and Bengal tigers indicated that the lack of effective measures to preserve endangered species has deteriorated further as a result of the 8 year old conflict.
