Snow Leopards are endemic to Central and South Asia, they are endangered and are only found in zoos outside of their natural range.

Snow Leopards are on the Red Data List and between 4,000 and 6,500 adults are know to remain (of which only 2,500 survive in the wild!)

Most people would not have the opportunity to work directly with conservation efforts (i.e. field work) with respect to the Snow Leopard; it therefore makes sense that the best method to support conservation efforts would be to support (though funding or volunteer work) a conservation agency or protected zone that undertakes this sort of work.

From an organised conservation perspective:

  • Selective and protected breeding and release programs.
  • Protecting natural ranges of the Snow Leopard through proactive conservation and protection programs.
  • Education programs for locals who live within the Snow Leopards range; not to poach and sell them for their fur, not to trap them if they suspect their livestock is being killed by them etc.
  • Restrict the movement and illegal trade in the species through legislation.
