Vision & Mission

The Snow Leopard Foundation (SLF) is a non-profit conservation organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under Section 42 of the Companies Act 2017. The SLF is aimed to conserve viable populations of snow leopards and other wild carnivores as an integral part of landscapes across Pakistan while improving the economic conditions of the people who share the fragile mountain ecosystems with predators.

Working through partnerships and networks and in collaboration with government and non-government organizations at local, national, and international levels, the Foundation maintains a focus on the conservation of the mountain biodiversity and ecosystems under the umbrella of snow leopard conservation.

Vision

Inspire Pakistan to be a land where people live in harmony with wildlife, where nature is valued, conserved, and ecosystem services sustained to deliver benefits essential for all people.

Mission

Each element of our approach is a thread in the rich mosaic of conserving these magnificent animals and their habitats.
