October 23 is the world day of Snow Leopard, the environmental group World Wide Fund for nature (WWF) released a new study reported on the same day, if we do not change the trend of global climate change in the future, one-third will no longer be suitable for the long-term survival of the Snow Leopard Snow Leopard Habitat.
According to the International Union for the conservation of nature records, snow leopards live in the Alpine region of Central Asia, located in 12 countries. Their habitats while more than 2 million square kilometres-about equal to Mexico the land area, 60% in China, but the population is only 4080-6590, is now endangered.

The document, entitled the relevance of vulnerability: snow leopards, humans, water and global climate change study noted that, with the increase of the ambient temperature of the Snow Leopard range, forest vegetation baseline is more shrinkage in high altitude areas, forest degradation after the area was converted to agricultural and pastoral land, and accelerate your Snow Leopard habitat degradation and fragmentation.
Report says world must take immediate action to respond to climate change on Snow Leopard, the Asian big cats survive severe effects on the stability, Snow Leopard distribution of eco-environmental effects of climate change in the Alpine region of Central Asia has been extremely fragile, but this area is responsible for the water supply of hundreds of millions of people in Central Asia.
Influenced by the trend of global climate change is more than just Snow Leopard itself, distribution of Snow Leopard will also receive a serious impact in all mountain areas of Central Asia, and the region is an important water source. Reports indicate that more than 330 million people living in the Snow Leopard range water and river basin within dozens of miles of vast areas, these populations rely heavily on daily supplies of water resources in the region, climate change would significantly change the Snow Leopard range of water sources, water and runoff, would threaten the normal production and lives of hundreds of millions of people.
In October 2013, 12 Snow Leopard range States in Kyrgyzstan Bishkek signed the "Snow Leopard populations and ecosystem conservation project in the world." Among government departments, international organizations and civil society consensus, mutual cooperation, joint effort promises Snow Leopard conservation goals. This is the first time States agreed commitments on Snow Leopard conservation efforts. Similar to 2010, 13 wild tiger range States in Russia Saint Petersburg, published the global wild tiger Declaration of Heads of State and Government undertook to double the global wild tiger population by 2022, China is also one of the 13. After the Saint Petersburg meeting, wild tigers, China in 2011, the Chinese Government began the implementation of the recovery plan, and now Snow Leopard conservation plan is also being developed.
