The following are two current examples of our successful snow leopard conservation activities. To see more, go to Community-Based Conservation, and Science and Research.

Mongolia Long-Term Study

In 2008 we launched the largest long-tem snow leopard study ever, located in Mongolia's South Gobi. We are photographing snow leopards with remote sensor cameras and tracking snow leopard using GPS collars. The snow leopard is one of the least studied of the big cats. We are working to identify snow leopards, come up with accurate population estimates, see how they move, and measure how large a home range they need in order to survive. Aztai, Tsagaan, Shonkhor and Saikhan are snow leopards you can follow right now on our blog at blog.snowleopard.org.

$5 = 1 day of GPS satellite time for tracking snow leopards
$450 = is enough to purchase one digital remote sensor camera

Grazing Free Reserves in India

We are helping four communities in India set aside land that is free from grazing by domestic livestock and other forms of resource use. This enables the recovery of snow leopards and their prey. The largest and oldest reserve, in the Kibber community, has been extremely successful and highlights the good that can come from these reserves: today, the Kibber reserve is home to the largest population of blue sheep in the region (nearly 350), and 3-4 snow leopards have been observed using the reserve.

$100 = manages a wildlife reserve for snow leopards for one month
