Snow leopards are an elusive animal, not much is known about them. However a combination of poaching and mating habits are probably why they're endangered species.
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.

∙ 13y agoI think that the main reason for Snow Leopards getting extinct is that, people do not take care of the Earth and when people litter the Snow Leopards may eat it... Another reason why is maybe because, their pelts command a very high price in fur markets... and PEOPLE HUNT THEM.... Horrible...
