23 October marks International Snow Leopard Day

23 October 2017

Every 23 October, the whole world marks International Snow Leopard Day. The 2013 Global Snow Leopard Forum in Bishkek ushered in this festival. After the Forum, representatives of countries where this rare cat species lives, adopted the Bishkek declaration on the conservation of the snow leopard.

 

On International Snow Leopard Day, the management of Sayano-Shushensky Nature Reserve invites everyone to find out how much they know about this mysterious mountain cat. A test on the rarest representative of the cat family is posted on the nature reserve’s website.
