THE SNOW LEOPARD
TRUST
.
SUPPORTING THOSE DEDICATED TO PROTECTING THE MOST ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN THE AREAS WE VISIT
Snow leopards are perfectly adapted to the cold, barren landscape of their high-altitude home, but human threats have created an uncertain future for the cats. Despite a range of over 2 million km2, scientist estimate that there may only be between 3,920 and 6,390 snow leopards left in the wild

THERE’S NO ANIMAL AS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE AREAS WE RUN EXPEDITIONS TO THAN THE SNOW LEOPARD SO WHEN IT CAME TO WHICH ANIMAL OUR ACTIVITY IMPACTS ON AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM OUR CONTRIBUTIONS, THE SNOW LEOPARD WAS THE OBVIOUS CONTENDER. FAR FROM BEING AN OBSCURE INHABITANT OF THE REMOTE MOUNTAINS, ALL ACROSS TIBET & XINJIANG CULTURAL MOTIFS OF THE SNOW LEOPARD ARE PROMINENT, MEANING PROTECTING THEM HAS CULTURAL DIVERSITY ELEMENTS AS WELL AS BIODIVERSITY ONES.
RUNNING EXPEDITIONS MEANS WE ARE NOT IN A SEPARATE BUBBLE FROM THE PLACES WE GO TO, WE ARE PART OF THE FUZZY EDGE BETWEEN CIVILIZATION & WILDERNESS, THUS WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY EXTENDING TO BOTH WHICH MEANS CONTRIBUTING TO KEEPING THE WILD PLACES WILD. ALONG WITH ZERO IMPACT CAMPS & SMALL FOOTPRINT LOGISTICS, PRESERVING THE DOMAINS OF THE WILDLIFE IS A PRIORITY.
SINCE 1981 THE SNOW LEOPARD TRUST HAS BEEN WORKING TO PROTECT SNOW LEOPARDS IN THE WILD WITH A COMBINED METHOD OF RESEARCH, EDUCATION, POLICY & CONSERVATION PROJECTS ACROSS A HUGE AREA OF COMPLEX TERRAIN AND CULTURES. SAVING THE LEOPARD FROM EXTINCTION IS NO SIMPLE TASK, BEING ACROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS, SEVERAL LANGUAGES AND INVOLVES ADDRESSING THE FUNDAMENTAL REASONS THAT THREATEN THE ANIMAL LIKE POVERTY, AGRICULTURAL METHODS, LACK OF DATA & POACHING.
