The snow leopard is native to Central Asia. Although wild snow leopards aren't endangered, they are at risk of becoming endangered. Snow leopards share a habitat with humans. Herder communities regularly get in contact with this beautiful creature. Unfortunately, they tend to attack herds and their animals. So herder communities find it difficult to coexist with snow leopards.

Snow Leopard Trust works to preserve the snow leopard population and find a way for them to coexist with the people sharing their habitat.
