| Strategy of snow leopard conservation in Russia | |
| 2002 Conference Proceeding | |
This model project is part of the general project Khentei-Himalaya and developed especially for Russia and the boundary territories of neighboring states- Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan. In Russia, snow leopards inhabit marginal areas of their northern range, where the risk of extermination is very high. If a species is distributed and at risk for extermination in more than one country, it is possible to save it only by common efforts. This project envisions a network of protected areas along the common borders of the four range states and a joint conservation strategy. Human pressure along the border lane should be reduced, public awareness raised, information shared among range countries, and numbers of snow leopards and other rare species ultimately restored. |
