Snow leopards face threats from poaching, habitat loss, and conflict with humans. Conservation efforts include anti-poaching patrols and community-based conservation programs that work with local people to reduce human-wildlife conflict. Responsible safari tourism can help by funding conservation initiatives and raising awareness about the importance of protecting these elusive big cats.
The snow leopard is a species of large cat in the genus Panthera of the family Felidae. It is native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia, ranging from eastern Afghanistan, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to southern Siberia, Mongolia and Western China. It inhabits alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft), but also lives at lower elevations in the northern part of its range.
