New Delhi : With only 4000 snow leopards left in the wild and 500 of them
in India, a new report has urged countries to take urgent action in the wake of
climate change to save the endangered species and conserve its "fragile' mountain
habitats.
Worldwide Fund for Nature formerly World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report titled
Fragile Connections : Snow leopards, people, water and the global climate said
that more than a third of snow leopard habitat could be rendered "unsuitable" for
the big cats if climate change is not checked.)
"Warmer temperatures could see the tree line shifting up the mountains and
farmers planting crops and grazing livestock at higher altitudes, squeezing the
remaining snow leopards into smaller pockets." a WWF India report said. "Climate
change could drastically alter the flow of water down from the mountains, threatening
the livelihoods of vast numbers of people across the continent," it said.
"With an estimated population of 500 cats. India has been a leading player in
the conservation efforts to secure the snow leopard and its habitat in the Himalayas."
said Ravi Singh, Secretary General and CEO, WWF-India.
