The Snow Leopard Trust works to protect this endangered cat through community-based conservation projects.

The Snow Leopard Trust have dedicated 1 May 2018 as a Spot-tacular!   It’s an online day to thanking its supporters and recognising them as an integral part of their team.

To celebrate, they are sharing their annual Impact Report. 

The support the Trust’s supporters have provided have meant that…..

• 400 women earned vital income in 2017 through the Snow Leopard Enterprises conservation handicrafts programme
• 100 families followed sustainable livestock herding practices.  This is a part of a new Snow Leopard Friendly Cashmere programme
• 11,600 livestock were insured through the community run Livestock Insurance Programmes.  This gives herders compensation for livestock losses

There’s more information here but it’s great to hear from a charity of the impact support has.

Spring into Action

The Snow Leopard Trust  is currently working to raise $60,000 to expand their programmes and they are running appeals for a couple of projects:

One to support wildlife rangers - Help equip and pay two rangers who patrol the Shamshy Wildlife Sanctuary in Kyrgyzstan to prevent illegal hunting and monitor wildlife populations

Counting the cats – they are looking to come up with a solid estimate of the snow leopard population in Himachal Pradesh, one of five Indian states which have snow leopards
