Rodney Jackson, Founder-Director

Snow Leopard Conservancy’s Mission

Ensuring snow leopard survival and conserving mountain landscapes by

expanding environmental awareness and sharing innovative practices

through community stewardship and partnerships

Dear Snow Leopard Conservancy Supporters: There was good news for snow leopards in 2017. These magnificent cats were reclassified on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List from Endangered to Vulnerable, reflecting a slowed rate of decline and populations that are stabilized or even slightly increasing in several countries. This improved status of the cats is in part a result of your support for the Conservancy’s community based conservation efforts. Thank you! We completed a ten-year, range-wide genetic research effort that suggests there are three distinct subspecies of snow leopards. The international team was lead by Conservancy partner Dr. Jan Janečka. If accepted by the broader scientific community, this

discovery opens the door to regionally-based Red List assessments in the future and, I hope, more strategic targeting of resources and conservation measures. As we celebrate these milestones, we must also renew our commitment to community-based conservation of snow leopards and their habitat. Climate change, infrastructure development, poaching, conflict between herders and snow leopards—all continue to contribute to the vulnerability of a species that is both an ecological indicator and a sacred totem. Your support has enabled the Conservancy to grow the number of predator-proofed livestock corrals in Pakistan, to install more Foxlights in the Nepal Himalaya, and to reach ever more people across the range countries through Snow Leopard Day celebrations. On Page 9 of this Report, we feature Shafqat Hussain and Ghulam Mohammad. They are the driving forces behind the Baltistan Wildlife Conservation & Development Organization (BWCDO), which was awarded the prestigious UN Development Programme's Equator Prize. As the first Pakistanis to receive this prize, they are characteristic of the passionate individuals and small but effective organizations the Snow Leopard Conservancy is committed to support. Thank you for again enabling us to make a difference that grows from field-based, grassroots efforts.

Annual Report 2017 . . . . . 3

Each week, the Nepalese Radio Program, Surroundings of the Snow Leopard, reached an estimated 50,000 listeners in snow leopard habitat, and more than one million elsewhere throughout the Nepal Himalaya. The Conservancy facilitated deployment of 57 new trail cameras in Mongolia, Nepal

and Pakistan, greatly adding to our local partners’ ability to monitor snow leopard populations in their critical habitat areas. Conservancy partners led the celebration of Snow Leopard Day in Nepal and Pakistan. Land of Snow Leopard (LOSL) Network members independently initiated celebrations in Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Altai & Buryat Republics of Russia, and Tajikistan. Combined, their conservation messages reached some 15,000 students, teachers, and members of the general public living in snow leopard habitat. Conservancy partners worked with herders to install Foxlights and predator-proof livestock corrals, protecting up to 125 snow leopards

from retributive killing across more than 25 village areas in Nepal and Pakistan. 36 Community Monitors were trained by our Land of the Snow Leopard Network members in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Russia, and Mongolia, to use our special App for Android devices. They are now monitoring wildlife and collecting culturally-relevant stories that will inform innovative educa-tional tools for snow leopard conservation.

Himalaya, Altai-Sayan, Pamir and Tien

Shan Mountains. Snow Leopard Day

celebrations were held, for the first time,

by LOSL partners, in many new areas.

Range-Wide Snow Leopard Phylogeography Supports Three Subspecies

Dr. Rodney Jackson was co-author of the above paper published in the Journal of Heredity describing results of a study led by geneticist Dr. Jan Janečka, Duquesne University. DNA analysis revealed the likely existence of three subspecies of snow leopard. While this is a major discovery, the range of these leo-pards spans international borders, thus cooperation is vital between the host countries, as is occurring with the Global Snow Leopard & Ecosystem Protection Program, in future conservation planning.

Snow Leopards Reclassified to Vulnerable

Dr. Rodney Jackson was one of five international experts who undertook a three-year assessment of the status of snow leopards, for the IUCN Red List, which is the globally accepted international standard for assessing extinction risk. The assess-ment resulted in the cats being reclassified from Endangered to Vulnerable. While this recommendation was controversial, the IUCN upheld it, concurring with the team that this “upgrade” did not mean that the snow leopard was out of danger. Read the full announcement.

In its July-September issue, Orion Magazine published a poem, “I, Snow Leopard”, written by Jidi Majia, an indigenous poet of the Nuosu (Yi) people of the mountain region of southwest China. Photographs courtesy of the Snow Leopard Conservancy accompany the piece, for which Barry Lopez wrote a moving introduction. Written in the voice of the snow leopard, Jidi Majia creates an image of a magnificent and mysterious creature, in a work that carries a message on the consequences of unchecked violence towards animals, and on the violence that threatens the human species.
