Life on Land
Snow leopards have been labeled as a vulnerable species, and only about 100-200 snow leopards are left in the Afghanistan wilderness. These leopards face issues such as habitat destruction, illegal poaching, and more. This means that their already small population could decrease even further. The snow leopard is commonly poached for its pelts or is sold live to zoos and collectors.
These stunning cats are an ever-softening whisper of Afghan life and culture. We need to protect these animals and preserve their role in Afghanistan for generations to come. Our actions have just as big of an impact on the world around us as they do on ourselves. We can take steps to protect our environment, and preserve our earth's biodiversity for generations to come.
