Champions for Snow Leopards

Dylan

Dylan from Sydney, Australia, is a young snow leopard champion and wildlife warrior, who dreams one day of trekking into a remote wilderness area to see a snow leopard. He is spreading the word about the “Searching For The Snow Leopard” book and gave a special presentation on snow leopards for his classmates. Dylan is part of the next generation who will work hard to passionately protect these beautiful big cats in snowy lands.

Somewhere faraway in a beautiful part of the Himalays or another prime snow leopard habitat, there is a magnificent snow leopard which cosmically feels gratitude and happiness to hear this terrific heart-warming news from Dylan in Australia!

Kyle Trefny

At the time this video was taken, 14-year-old Kyle Trefny had started a club at his school to raise awareness and funding for snow leopards. He also created a line of snow leopard greeting cards, PawArtWorks, and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Snow Leopard Conservancy to help save these beautiful cats. In this video, he eloquently describes how he came to be such a passionate conservationist!

Hanna Dribinski

For her 8th birthday, Hanna Dribinski held a Virtual Birthday Fundraiser on behalf of the Snow Leopard Conservancy. She and her parents designed a “Save the Snow Leopards t-shirt and donated the proceeds from the sales of the shirts to the Conservancy in supports of its programs.

Her mom tells us that Hanna’s favorite wild cat is the snow leopard and that she has wanted to help wildlife since she was very young, staying true to that mission with each passing year. 

Olivia

Eight-year-old Olivia tells the Conservancy that she first learned about snow leopards in her class at school in Cambridgeshire, England. She says that they have been her favorite animal since she learned about them. Oliva says, “I think that snow leopards are very pretty creatures and also very interesting. I made a fact file on snow leopards, and then I had an idea to do a fundraiser to try and help them. I like running so I decided to try and run a marathon in a month, from May 15 to June 10. Altogether, I have raised $863. Snow leopards are being killed by farmers because they are eating the farmers’ livestock.” Olivia explained that she hopes with the money she raised that livestock will be protected and snow leopards will instead have plenty of wild prey to hunt.
