Endangerment of the Snow Leopard

Countries have adopted as many measures as possible on these animals, including the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This makes international trade in snow leopards in all signatory countries illegal in any form (wwf.org). But poachers are difficult to manage. In fact, as China's illegal trade seems to increase rapidly with the strengthening of economic power, in Afghanistan a new market emerges due to ongoing military conflict (savecatsanddogs.org), difficult for the police is.

Snow Leopard is near the village near Terich Valley under Richgol Valley, an ancient phenomenon, announced its existence from December to February. Because the area above the hill is covered with deep snow, the aim is different and the snow leopard knows to follow the path of avalanche in winter. Snow Leopard reported arriving in a very cold season, and at night it called from several ridges on that route and stayed in the place where the cat liked, for several days. They often travel together and call to scare the children at night. Usually they do not attack livestock, but because of starvation they attack the goat outside the village. After carefully tracking, they got most of the food from the northern goat. Even if they encounter them on mountain roads, they never attack humans, so they are not dangerous for humans.

Attacks on humans by snow leopards are rare and only two cases are known. On July 12, 1940, in the Maloalmaatinsk Valley near Almaty, a fierce snow leopard attacked two men during the day, causing severe injuries on both. In the second case, leopards covered with old and toothless snow attacked the passerby in winter, not far from Almaty; it was captured and taken to the local village It was. There is no record of attack on humans by snow leopard. In 2008, the episode "Nature World" episode "Snow Leopard - Beyond Myth" interviewed some of the Pakistani goat farms, and this woman was caught by Snow Leopard from the farm the domestic cat keeps, but cat It is not affected by. Attack despite fainting and helplessness. They tried every effort to prove that the crew were hunting mainly wild prey, as they wanted local farmers to stop shooting it.
