Snow Leopard Conservancy
Only a few thousand snow leopards remain in their home high in the mountains. This rare species is a sacred symbol of Central Asia, but lives under constant threat of poaching, human development, and climate change. The Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) binds snow leopard conservation with the traditional beliefs of indigenous communities to build support for saving this big cat. With the aid of innovative technologies and the expertise of local people, SLC tracks snow leopards and protects their habitat. They also educate children about snow leopard conservation and help run Land of Snow Leopard, a coalition of conservationists and local cultural leaders.
