In 2002 the Snow Leopard Trust initiated the Snow Leopard Survival
Strategy process which brought together snow leopard experts from
around the world to develop a long-term plan to save the species.
To support the experts over the 18 months of strategy development, the
Trust realized how important it was for all participants to have access
to the extensive literature on snow leopards. Because many of the
experts were in remote and far flung corners of Asia with limited
library availability, but adequate internet access, a web-based
bibliography was determined to be the best way to meet the information
needs.
Fortunately, much of the English language literature on snow leopards was originally published by the Trust as part of its Snow Leopard Symposium series. These, along with field reports, popular articles, newspaper pieces and other literature were compiled in the bibliographic data base, most of them containing the full text of the original publications. Once launched on the internet, specialists, as well as the general public, had a vast set of information at their finger tips.
Shortly after completion of the Survival Strategy, the on-line bibliography was turned over to the Snow Leopard Network for continued maintenance and improvement. Recently the SLN added nearly 400 Russian language publications, all in full text. They hope to add Chinese literature soon with other regional local-language publications to follow.
