Activity 2

Education and capacity building for snow leopard conservation:In India, the Snow Leopard Trust provided environmental education to over 870 children and took 148 children on nature camps. In Pakistan, we helped create 12 Nature Clubs for school children to disseminate information about snow leopard conservation. In Mongolia we worked with 26 communities to distribute information about managing snow leopard predation events and to help them learn and gain more control over conservation land rights. In 2012 we also attended a mass awareness event in China attended by 50,000 people and in India we worked with local and national government to create wildlife management plans. Finally, we were invited to help facilitate a Global Forum to bring together heads of state from all 12 snow leopard countries to create a unified plan for snow leopard conservation across the species' entire range.

Activity 3

Research and monitoring of Snow Leopards and their environment:In 2012 we continued our long-term snow leopard study in South Gobi, Mongolia to increase our understanding of snow leopard ecology, behavior, and habitat needs. As part of this study we tracked snow leopards using GPS collars, performed prey surveys, and collected population data via remote camera surveys. We also worked with nine communities in western Mongolia to establish social and biological baselines for monitoring snow leopard threats--and threat reduction--over time. We also supported surveys in other key parts of snow leopard range, including trap camera surveys in northern India and rapid biological assessments on the Tibetan Plateau in China.
