Snow Leopard Trust: An international conservation organization focused on snow leopards and mountain communities. The organization supports research and community-based conservation.
Habitat fragmentation: The division of continuous habitat into smaller, isolated patches. Fragmented mountain habitat can impede movement between snow leopard populations.
