One of the most beautiful wild cats on Earth. A proud ruler of the snow with magnificent, mottled fur. Its population is melting at an alarming rate. Together we can stop it!
Snow leopard
Did you know that the mottled pattern is, like a person's fingerprints, unique to each individual?
Threats
By symbolically adopting an animal, you are supporting WWF’s efforts to strengthen conservation and continue the recovery of this species.
Poaching
Irbises are mainly killed for their fur, and the remaining parts of their bodies are used to make pseudo-medicines.
Habitat loss
Climate change and expanding grazing land are causing snow leopards to lose their natural habitat and food base.
Man
Hungry irbis hunt livestock, causing them to be killed by herders in retaliation.
