Natural Partnerships Program: Where Inspiration Meets Impact
The Snow Leopard Trust’s story has deep ties to the Zoo community. Our founder, Helen Freeman, first began her work with snow leopards at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo and went on to spark a global conservation movement. Zoos are active supporters of wildlife conservation, committed to protecting wild species and their natural habitats. Today, zoos worldwide support critical snow leopard research, education, and conservation initiatives through the Natural Partnerships Program (NPP).
The Power of Partnerships!
The Natural Partnerships Program (NPP) connects zoos around the world with the unique opportunity to protect wild snow leopards, becoming directly involved and making powerful contributions to priority in-situ conservation and research programs that aim to ensure the snow leopard’s survival.
Over 100 zoos are participating in the Snow Leopard Trust’s Natural Partnerships Program. Millions of visitors observe snow leopards in awe and amazement every year at Zoos. The Natural Partnerships Program bridges these inspiring moments with powerful contributions to snow leopard conservation in the field. With more than 160 zoos worldwide housing snow leopards, imagine the extraordinary impact we could achieve together. What a huge difference each zoo partner makes.
