Snow Leopard Network (SLN)
@snowleopardnet.bsky.social
Global organization fostering collaboration and information exchange to conserve #snowleopards and support communities sharing their habitat.
https://snowleopardnetwork.org/
https://snowleopardnetwork.org/
🧬Recent #research by @kasolari.bsky.social et al. shows how whole-genome data can inform #snowleopard conservation—from species history & distribution to individual id. using non-invasive samples—demonstrating how genomics can support real-world #conservation.

This imbalance affects #biodiversity, #watersecurity, and #mountain livelihoods. The good news? Low-emission pathways can stabilize habitats and reduce conflict risks.

As #climatechange accelerates, #mountain systems are shifting. Snow leopards & blue sheep are pushed upslope—but unevenly. 🐑🏔️🐆
Blue sheep lose habitat much faster, leaving predators without prey and increasing risks of livestock #conflict.
