Project Details
| Name | Snow Leopard Trust |
| Description | The Snow Leopard Trust studies the snow leopard and protects its habitat. It supports the herders in their breeding work and helps them to develop the wool economy, in exchange for respecting one of the most endangered felines in the world. In order to study the snow leopard population and estimate its evolution, about twenty individuals are tracked by GPS. In the most vulnerable territories for the preservation of this majestic feline, community rangers act and intervene on the front line. They often work in difficult conditions, sometimes putting their own lives at risk, to fight illegal hunting. Travelling up to several thousand kilometers a month on their motorbikes, they patrol the Tost Nature Reserve in southern Mongolia to prevent poaching, but also to record traces of snow leopard passage and to record the presence of rare plants for example. |
