We are reigniting our partnership with Bhutan Foundation in 2026 to sponsor the Promoting Ecological and Community Engagement (PEaCE) project in Jigme Dorji National Park. This program will bring our mission to protect snow leopards and support local communities to the highlands of Bhutan.
We are expanding our One Health - One Welfare program by partnering with zoologist Kartik Thevar, who will work with Sikkim's Himalayan Zoological Park to empower wildlife caretakers through hands-on training and mentorship.

Land of Snow Leopard Network reunited in Kyrgyzstan in late September for their first gathering since 2019 due to the pandemic and other global issues.

It prepares the students for roles as responsible future stewards of the landscape, using the snow leopard as a catalyst.
Snow leopard tourism offers an opportunity for meaningful experiences. High in the Himalayas, you can see snow leopards in the wild while supporting the people and places that protect them. Snow leopard tours are often hosted in traditional homestays, where your visit helps sustain both culture and conservation.
Snow Leopard Conservancy partner Wildlife Initiative has been working hand-in-hand with local herders in Western Mongolia to develop practical solutions that protect both wildlife and human livelihoods. The project combines predator-deterring technology with local knowledge, creating a model for conservation that benefits everyone involved.
While Wildlife Initiative's snow leopard conservation project in the Sutai-Myang Ugalzad corridor has focused on protecting the magnificent snow leopard, their network of trail cameras has revealed how this remote landscape is a biodiversity hotspot. Motion-activated cameras have captured intimate glimpses of the secret lives of Mongolia's wildlife.
Earlier this month, we welcomed supporters to a special celebration and screening of "Snow Leopard Sisters" held at The Walt Disney Family Museum honoring the legacy of Dr. Rodney Jackson and co-founder Darla Hillard, who boldly launched Snow Leopard Conservancy in 2000.
