WHy are snow leopards endangered?
RETALIATORY killingSnow leopards eat livestock of local Himalayan farmers as their natural food sources deplete. |
Habitat LossClimate change and the exploitation of natural resources by locals and big corporations diminish and take away from the habitat the snow leopards live in. |
PoachingPoaching of the snow leopard's prey takes away their resources and makes it harder for them to survive. It forces them to eat local farmers' livestock. |
OUR GOALOur animals are disappearing. We're changing that. |
What Can You Do?
Be an Advocate for Clean Energy
Clean energy will prevent the snow leopard's habitat from shrinking. As the climate changes, the cold area that snow leopards can live in gets smaller. This causes a higher density of snow leopards and higher competition between them.

Boycott Metal Sourced from the Himalayas
Mining for metal in the Himalayas takes away natural caves and space from Snow Leopards. Boycotting metal from this region will decrease the amount of resources taken away from the snow leopards.

Do not buy Snow Leopard Pelts
Snow leopards are poached every year, and their pelts are sold in the black market. Decreasing the demand for these pelts will decrease the amount of snow leopards killed.
