Snow leopards are often poached during the winter months when their fur is most valuable. Poachers target them for their beautiful pelts, as well as for their bones, which are used in traditional medicine. The threat of poaching is exacerbated by the illegal wildlife trade, often driven by demand in certain regions. Conservation efforts aim to combat this issue by increasing awareness and protection for these endangered animals.
