Snow Leopard

Consider yourself blessed by the mountain deities themselves, if you get a glimpse of this elusive, almost chimerical animal. They epitomize the grandeur and mystique of the Himalayas. They are however very rare. And if you don't get to see one, we hope the beautiful image provided by the Snow Leopard Conservancy comes as some consolation. This dedicated and experienced group of researchers and citizen scientists are hard at work to decrease the human- leopard conflict which is the single most important reason for the dwindling population of this animal. And one of the more ingenious methods they have used is Foxlights which protects the precious yaks from the leopards in high pastures ([Read More](http://snowleopardconservancy.org/2014/06/23/herders- heart-lightened-in-remote-manang/)), thus reducing retribution killings. If you think these beautiful and endangered animals deserve a chance, you should consider being part of the SLC's effort to install Foxlights. [Pledge.](http://snowleopardconservancy.org/donations/)
