Title: Snow Leopards Tagged in Afghanistan — A First
|
|
|
|
Description: July 18, 2012 — In spring 2012, conservationists fitted snow leopards with satellite collars in Afghanistan for the first time. Since then, one of the big cats has already roamed more than a hundred miles (160 kilometers).
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists snow leopards as endangered, meaning they face a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. The team hopes its tracking data can spur protection of the leopards' Afghan habitat—and help ensure a rosier future for the rare cats.
