Thank you for choosing to protect snow leopards in their natural habitat. You are helping our ground-based conservation partners across Asia adapt to the new challenges they are facing because of the pandemic.
HOW IS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACTING SNOW LEOPARDS
The pandemic shifted, delayed, and cancelled much of our dedicated ground-based conservation partners, Snow Leopard Trust’s (SLT) 2020 plans. A large part of protecting these ‘ghosts of the mountains’ is working with communities to build conservation awareness. Covid-19 has made this a lot more challenging.
However, with your support, we have been able to adapt and continue to offer our education activities virtually. We have continued to help rangers, maintain wildlife surveys, reach out to children, and meet with community leaders and government—albeit on a different timeline and scale than originally anticipated.
Between March and September 2020, SLT monitored six snow leopards in Mongolia using GPS collars and retrieved four months of footage from 35 out of 36 trap cameras placed in Sarychat-Ertash Nature Reserve in Kyrgyzstan.
