| Snow leopard conservation in the wild - A comprehensive perspective on a low density and highly fragmented population | |
| 1994 Conference Proceeding | |
Since the First International Snow Leopard Symposium in Helsinki in 1978 heralded a critical mass of professional interest in the conservation of snow leopard, participation has been increasing and broadening. The first several symposia dealt almost entirely with the health, breeding and organized conservation of snow leopards in captivity. And while this important focus continues, there has in recent years been an initiation and rapid increase in studies and information from wild populations. Initial thoughts on the possible imminent need for the reintroduction of capture animals to native ranges has given way to an agreed priority on conservation in the wild, complemented with zoo-based captive breeding and conservation education programs. |
