Founded in 1981, the Snow Leopard Trust is the world's leading authority on the study and protection of the endangered snow leopard. At the Snow Leopard Trust we use a diverse combination of programs to ensure the survival of the endangered snow leopard. We place our focus on partnering with communities in key snow leopard habitat areas, addressing their needs as well as the needs of the cats. By using the latest science to develop groundbreaking research techniques, we can best understand the wildlife-human conflict and identify potential resources for protecting this incredible big cat. Our staff work in India, Pakistan, China, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia with a fundraising base in Seattle, Washington.
