Our April photo of the month re-presents the June 2008 issue of National Geographic where snow leopards were featured in an article titled “Out of the Shadows: The Elusive Central Asian snow leopard steps into a risk filled future.”
The article portrays the difficulties that arise for conservationists working in snow leopard habitat, who not only are dedicated to the protection of the species but who must balance their efforts with the needs of the communities living nearby. The Snow Leopard Trust uses a community based conservation approach that connects the people living in snow leopard ranges to the conservation efforts that will better the lives of everyone involved.
