The snow leopard is a majestic animal spread throughout the high altitude mountains and plateaus of Central and Western Asia. The mountain landscapes that are home to the snow leopards and their prey are increasingly subject to human pressures. Humans are at the centre of major threats to the species, including retaliatory killings, livestock rearing, contribution to loss of prey, and the increasing penetration of development projects into snow leopard areas.

This talk will discuss what we know about the big cat and how we can protect them from extinction. Initiated in 2008, the Snow Leopard Trust’s long-term comprehensive ecological study of snow leopards addresses critical gaps in knowledge ranging from home range assessments to basic population parameters such as predation patterns and juvenile dispersal. On the basis of these findings, we consider protective measures at the local scale that would benefit snow leopards.
