Conference on Snow Leopards Called “Watershed Event”
The 2008 International Snow Leopard Conference brought together for
the first time representatives from all snow leopard range nations:
China, Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic,
Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Representatives from those countries, along with leading big cat
experts, met in Beijing to frame a
multinational conservation plan to save these highly endangered and
rarely observed predators.
