Snow Leopard Conservancy - Conservation Program

A Map of the Snow Leopard’s Range

This map shows the twelve countries where the rare, beautiful, and endangered snow leopard can be found. Total numbers are estimated at 4,500-7,500. Snow leopards are protected in nearly all countries under national and international laws. They are listed in Appendix 1 of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, 1977), which sets strict regulations on export or import of animals or their body parts. Four countries (Bhutan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan) are not yet signatory to the CITES agreement.
