Project results
Overall, this project hopes to revive traditional cultural practices that protect snow leopards, and to create pathways for meaningful indigenous participation in planning for the conservation of this species. Greater respect and widespread awareness should lead to improved conditions for these threatened cats, along with social, economic and ecological benefits to humans.
