Climate Adaptation

The goal of climate adaptation in the snow leopard landscapes is to enhance the resilience of snow leopards, their habitats, and the communities that share these highlands to the impacts of climate change. Snow leopards inhabit some of the most fragile and remote ecosystems in the high-altitude mountains of Central and South Asia. These ecosystems are under increasing threat from climate change, which is causing glacial melt, altering precipitation patterns, GLOFs, and flash floods, and impacting vegetation and prey species. The climate adaptation efforts in the snow leopard range aim to integrate conservation, sustainable development, and community-based management practices to ensure a future where both snow leopards and human communities can thrive in the face of climate change.
