So the snow leopard , you've probably heard of them.
But the snow leopard has been hidden really from us in ecology and in history, because they live at such high altitudes and very remote areas.
So the snow leopard -- we often think of the snow leopard alone in the mountains.
But if a snow leopard comes and visits their corral and keeps visiting-- and that's what happens.
So if the snow leopard walks in from the camera, it will take pictures of those individuals.
So that's less than one snow leopard per 100 kilometers squared.
So the tigers are the closest genetic to the snow leopard .
And that's where you'll find the snow leopard .
So this China holds around 50% of the snow leopard population.
So that's what we do at the Snow Leopard Trust trust.
And of course, snow leopard preys on livestock sometimes.
There's huge new threats of large development within snow leopard ranges, for example building roads, huge highways, trains, mining for coal, for precious stones.
So red is where we think there's potential snow leopard population.
there would be a collar put on the snow leopard individual.
And then we'd use radio signal to see where the snow leopard went.
So he only could conclude that that's where the snow Leopard was going.
And we get a signal every five hours on the snow leopard .
And then we have data every five hours of where the snow leopard is.
So here is a story about an individual snow leopard called Aztai.
And he was a three-year-old sub-adult snow leopard .
So Aztai was sharing the home range with another snow leopard here, and then another snow leopard to the west.
A week later, the snow leopard will come back and again eat their livestock.
We have handicraft schemes to support women so that they become snow leopard champions in the local communities.
So with the collaring data, sometimes the snow leopard would catch prey, right?
So I've been with SLT for the last three years, but doing snow leopard work for the last eight years.
So just to give you an idea, this is the region of the snow leopard range.
So we have to work with these people to help with the coexistence support so that the snow leopard has a long-term future.
You go to that mountain and you're like, I hope the snow leopard didn't move in between those three days that I moved.
So over 300-- I think now it's around over 400-- prey areas were visited by the snow leopard to try
And just a little bit later, you'll see a snow leopard come by.
So we often engage with communities and ask them what they would like to do to help conserve the snow leopard and what makes sense at their local level.
And yeah, I'll leave you with a little video of a snow leopard in China with her cub.
evolution says that, 'Why wouldn't that turn into a snow leopard someday?'
So in a way, we living in these cities in the far west are very much connected to what happens to the snow leopard through these kind of threats
You set up a trap, because you don't really know if it's a wolf or snow leopard .
And also, if this becomes all developed, for example one day in the future, that's going to limit snow leopard dispersal.
I think what the main thing about the conservation work, though, is that we're finding it's not necessarily about just reducing losses, about increasing snow leopard
And I just want to say thank you to Google, because through our Google Ads, we've actually had over $4 million supporting the Snow Leopard
