Why attend? 🧬

Dr. @kasolari.bsky.social will detail how to identify individual #snowleopards using fecal samples and how YOU can apply this new SNP panel to your own research areas.

Facilitated by Dr. Shakeel Ahmad.

High in the #mountains, survival depends on relationships 🏔️

This #InternationalMountainDay reminds us that mountains are living systems—linking climate, wildlife, water & people. New #SLResearch shows #ClimateChange is disrupting these links

🏔️ Mountains are the world’s water towers with nearly 2 billion people relying on glacier melt for drinking water, irrigation & energy.

But glaciers are disappearing fast, threatening agrifood systems & cultural heritage.

We need urgent global action.

🧬The research explores the Dzungarian region as a possible #geneticbridge linking the northern & southwestern #snowleopard ranges – spanning Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan.

#Connectivity may depend on a network of narrow corridors across mountains.

🎙 Our speaker, Dr. Miroslav Korablev is a senior researcher at the Severtsov Institute of Ecology & Evolution (Russian Academy of Sciences).

His work on #snowleopard #genetics across Russia & Mongolia reveals how northern populations stay connected across vast mountain ranges.

Each encounter between #people and #wildlife tells two stories: one of #conflict, and one of #coexistence. 🌱

Through shared knowledge, ethics, and empathy, we can shape a future where both thrive side by side. 💚

🐎October 25 marks #KhulanConservationDay!

The #Khulan roams tens of thousands of km each year across the Gobi-Steppe, Mongolia. One of earth’s most mobile mammals, their routes face fences, roads & fragmentation. Let’s protect their #BoundlessMigration & keep Asia’s wild heart connected.
