Description:

As few as 3,500 Snow Leopards are left in the wild today. The snow leopard is supremely adapted to its mountain home – with their thick furry tails nearly as long as the rest of their bodies, dense, woolly fur and markings that camouflage them against the rocky slopes.

 

The main threat to the snow leopard's survival comes from human activities. Snow leopards are hunted illegally for their pelts. They also face retribution killings from herders over livestock and their habitat is being degraded and fragmented.

Many people in the mountain communities throughout snow leopard habitat live on less than $1 a day. They just don't have resources to protect snow leopards. Luckily, snow leopards have a unprecedented opportunity for added protection from the U.S. Government through the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act - making its way through Congress right now!

Tell Congress to support The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act, and provide much needed funding to protect Snow Leopards and other rare species.

I support The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. Snow Leopards are very beautiful and rare. I love these animals and should leave them alone.

Snow leopards, they have some rare beauty. These amazing creatures are becoming extinct and we, people must solve this huge problem. Personally, I think hunters must stop hunting them and nobody should buy there coats. Save snow leopards, save nature!

i think that animals were one of the first things created before human. and god created us to take care of the animals so why destroy something god created. its like killing another human being or even killing yourself because anamils are a living thing just like us.
