#HappyNewYear — from our community to yours 🎇 For over 2 decades, SLN has grown through shared knowledge & #collaboration across borders. Thank you for another year advancing science, local leadership & conservation. Here’s to a hopeful 2026! 💫 #SnowLeopard #Conservation

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 #MountainsMatter #Glaciers @fao.org @undp.org @unep.org

🏔️ 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. #MountainsMatter #IMD2025

🧬Is Kazakhstan a bridge for gene flow between the northern & southwestern #SnowLeopard range? Join our next #SLNWebinar exploring new #genetic insights into population connectivity across Central Asia 📅Tue 18 Nov 🕒15h (Bishkek) 🔗Register: bit.ly/SLNConnectKZ #wildlifeconservation

🧬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. #ConservationScience

🐾Protecting these “stepping stone” habitats is key to maintaining gene flow & long-term viability for #SnowLeopards. Join us to learn how #genetics can guide transboundary conservation for Asia’s elusive mountain cat. 🔗Register: bit.ly/SLNConnectKZ #ConservationScience

🎙 Our facilitator, Alexander Karnaukhov is a veteran #conservation biologist with 20+ years of field experience across Altai-Sayan & Central Asia. He has helped the stabilization efforts of #snowleopard numbers in Russia through #cameratrapping & #communitybased efforts.

🎙 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.

🐎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. @wcs.org

Exciting pic from WCS Mongolia. Khulans on the Eastern steppe where we are working with partners to bring them back. Last year, a WCS survey counted 300 there, beyond their IUCN range. Recently, a follow-up confirmed that figure and we spotted foals—a great sign. 🌏

It's #InternationalSnowLeopardDay. Last month, WCS teams and partners from across High Asia gathered in Mongolia, one of the snow leopard’s strongholds, to shape a shared vision for the next decade of conservation. Today, we honor this effort to protect the snow leopard across this landscape. 🌏

On October 23, we are coming together to move for a shared cause, the athlete of our mountains, the snow leopard. Through #23for23, from the Himalayas to the Pamirs, we will walk, cycle, stretch, & climb for 23 minutes, reminding the world that protecting nature starts with a single step.
