This is a major threat to the snow leopard. Your adoption will help to provide WWF with the necessary funds to educate people who live in areas with snow leopards and raise their awareness of how they can live in peace with snow leopards.

Poaching is another serious problem facing the snow leopard. Your regular contribution will help WWF in its attempts to reduce or eliminate this threat by training and equip anti-poaching patrols. WWF will also make the public aware that there is no medicinal value from the snow leopards and reduce demand for its body parts.

Snow leopards are often killed in retaliation by farmers whose livestock are hunted for food by the snow leopard in the absence of traditional prey. Your adoption will help WWF fund compensation schemes for farmers who lose livestock to snow leopards and in the process prevent retaliatory killings.

WWF runs programs to increase the number of wild prey in areas where the snow leopard lives. Your adoption will help in the effort to construct the ideal balance between predator and prey and hopefully lead to an increase in snow leopard numbers.
