After the success of raising the tiger clan, the government has been continuously trying to raise the population of the snow leopard.
The snow leopard also is known as the ounce, a large cat native. At present, Snow leopard is found in mountain ranges of about 12 countries, which are Nepal, Mongolia, Russia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Bhutan, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan. However, apart from this, Myanmar also claims its presence.. These snow leopards usually weigh between 27 kg to 55 kg. Their color is light brown and according to the environment, there are gray and dark spots on its body. Usually, their natural habitat is in rough rocky areas and they can easily walk in 85 cm of snow.
The snow leopard is considered to be a symbol of the ecosystem of mountainous regions. So, if the population of these leopard grows, it means that the ecosystem of the region is also healthy. Ecosystem means the area where all organisms, animals, and plants, etc, are included. Where all these organisms exchange habitats and food in the environment depending on each other.
Campaigns are going on at the national and international levels. The main purpose of this campaign is the conservation of animals which are found from 3,350 meters to 6,700 meters above from sea level.
In India, the snow leopard is found in Ladakh, Himachal, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, and in some parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
According to experts, around 5 to 6 hundred snow leopards are present in Ladakh, which is a positive message that local people are learning to live with wildlife again.
Recently, a meeting was held in the capital Delhi to preserve the ecosystem for snow leopards, which was attended by representatives from the mountainous regions of India, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, and Mongolia. The first protocol was also issued by Union Minister Prakash Javadekar to assess the snow leopard population in the country. He agreed to start counting snow leopards in a hi-tech manner.
