Saving Snow Leopard

Over the years Nepal has made a significant progress in wildlife conservation. The active participation of communities, anti-poaching measures and initiatives to restore habitats played a crucial role in the conservation of the snow leopard. The camera trapping of a minimum of 90 snow leopards within the Upper Dolpa region of Shey Phoksundo National Park marks a milestone in Nepal's conservation efforts. There are more than 350 snow leopards in Nepal, which is a significant number compared to its population worldwide. Minimising poaching, proliferating knowledge and research and conservation of their shrinking habitat is essential to make sure that these elusive predators thrive and multiply.
