Snow Leopard Enterprises
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: -
The Snow Leopard Enterprise is a conservation program aimed at strengthening SLF’s community-based conservation efforts through identifying and introducing diverse means of livelihood for communities who share the snow leopard habitat. The aim of such a conservation program is to mitigate the conflict between wildlife and communities whose livestock often falls prey to snow leopard and other carnivores. Therefore, with the ultimate goal of promoting conservation, the SLE works towards creating sustainable economic opportunities for communities which in turn reduces their motivation for poaching. It does so through various initiatives including skill development for women artisans, and providing them linkages to markets.
