This beautiful wild snow leopard’s path led it past one of the research cameras our Indian team had deployed in the rugged mountains of Spiti, Himachal Pradesh.

These endangered cats have become increasingly rare in the last decades. Their famously elusive nature makes snow leopards hard to find – so these stunning pictures are a precious rarity!
You can help protect this majestic cat and its relatives by making a donation to support our snow leopard conservation programs in five Asian countries.
We can share these photos with you thanks thanks to the dedication and great work of an outstanding field team recruited from local communities! Thank you, Tanzin Thinley, Kalzang Gurmet, Chunit Kesang, Rinchen Tobge, Tandup Chhering, Tanzin Thuktan, Gelson Tanpa, Lobzang Namgial, Nawang Rinchen, Sonam Chhering, Lobzang Chhering, Paldan Rabge, Palzor Chhering and Sonam Choda!
