A report published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) reveals that more than a third of the habitat of the snow leopard could be lost if climate change is not contained.
‘Temperatures warmer could cause forest boundaries extend to the mountains and farmers to grow crops and bring their cattle to graze at higher altitudes, which would make the remaining leopards are confined in smaller areas, “the report entitled ‘fragile Connections: Snow leopards, humans, water and climate change’
elusive and rarely seen by humans, snow leopards are often called the ‘ghost of the mountains. ‘. As living near the edge of the snow of high mountains of Central Asia, the endangered species reflect the ecology of the high altitude. According to the report, there could be around 4,000 snow leopards.
