Conserving the Snow Leopard : From Research to Policy

Please join a  brief introduction to the joint efforts being made by the snow leopard range countries with support from partner organizations such as USAID, UNDP, GEF, GEF-SGP, WWF, UNEP, NABU, and SLT for the conservation of snow leopards, its associated biodiversity and the benefit of the local communities that share their spaces with wildlife.
The presentation will refer also to the conflicts with livestock , therefore it could be of interest to the Network.


Presenter : Koustubh Sharma, International Coordinator of the Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection Program

The snow leopard is he flagship predator of the vulnerable high Mountains of Asia that is distributed across 12 countries over an area of nearly  2 million square kilometers. Its habitats provide essential ecosystem services, including provisioning of water for a third of the world’s human population, sustaining pastoral and agricultural livelihoods of local communities that depend on biodiversity for food, fuel, fodder and medicine, and offer inspiration, recreation and economic opportunities. Despite their importance, the region tends to be viewed as marginal as it typically covers small regions of most countries as a whole, and hence elude the collective consciousness of citizens and governments. Climate change is exacerbating the risks faced by local communities as well as snow leopards and associated biodiversity due to increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, natural disasters, compromised livelihoods and increasing exposure to pathogens and emerging infectious diseases. Large scale linear infrastructural development, mining and dams represent a growing human footprint in the already ecologically sensitive mountains of Asia.  Illegal wildlife trade is threatening species across the range, and instances of poaching and trade in snow leopards have seen spike over the last decade. Given their large space needs and the presence of agropastoral peoples in their habitats for millennia, snow leopards cannot be conserved with Protected Areas alone. High Asian landscapes need a more holistic and integrated conservation and sustainable development. Conservation of these mountains and their biodiversity is a global responsibility. Through the GSLEP program, we facilitate widespread adoption and scaling up of best practices in scientific research and community-based conservation of snow leopards and its associated biodiversity. The approach of conserving biodiversity promoted by the snow leopard conservation programs addresses anywhere between 10 and 14 out of the 17 sustainable development goals set by the United Nations General Assembly. Community based conservation programs are typically aimed at augmenting livelihoods, offsetting losses incurred from wildlife damage, and building economic resilience against impacts of climate change. These initiatives are designed to lead to improved human well-being, gender equality, equitable growth, and innovation. Sustainable development, green infrastructure and climate action are being promoted through the conservation strategies being implemented. Since most of the snow leopard distribution range is along international borders, snow leopard conservation opens the opportunity for international dialogue, information sharing and cooperation between countries.
