Many of you may have heard the buzz surrounding Apple’s computer operating system: Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Some of us at the Snow Leopard Trust are Mac users and think it was great that Apple chose to refer to their new product as “Snow Leopard.” We are really excited about it, and look forward to it’s release next month.
But when people think about Mac OS X Snow Leopard we hope they don’t forget about the amazing cat that inspired it’s name. While the real snow leopard roams in the shadows, we hope it doesn’t get overshadowed by the buzz about “Snow Leopard.”
Please help us continue to spread the word about snow leopard, the endangered species. One great way to do that is to send our new video to everyone you know who loves animals, and to post it on your blog if you have one. Or encourage friends with blogs to post it on theirs. You may also have some other ideas of your own for spreading the word, so tell us by making comments on this post.
We are really pleased that Apple has invited our Executive Director, Brad, to do a talk at Apple headquarters about our snow leopard conservation programs. Also, Orjan (who works on our Mongolia research project), will be participating in an Apple event in Sweden. Recently a partner of Apple involved with Mac OS X Snow Leopard has stepped forward to help the Snow Leopard Trust, realizing that through their skills and support they can make a real difference for snow leopard conservation.
All these activities and our ongoing efforts will continue to help inform many more people around the world about the plight of the endangered snow leopard, but we need your help: please do all you can to help the real snow leopard leap forward!
