Today marks International Snow Leopard Day
映像The International Snow Leopard
Day falls today. The total population of snow leopard dispersed across 12
Central Asian countries currently stands at 4000 to 6500. Ranking second in the
world with its snow leopard population and density, Mongolia is considered to
be of high research significance. In particular, it has been found that there
are 800-1000 snow leopards in 107 soums of 10 aimags of Mongolia. 500-700 of
them inhabit the Altai-Sayan region. Thanks to Mongolian and international
scholars, the starting point for successful worldwide comprehensive study of
the animal was formed in Mongolia in 2008. Mongolians call snow leopard the
lord of high mountains. The World Wildlife Fund Mongolia Programme Office is
celebrating this day for the sixth year.
