International Snow Leopard Trust

International Snow Leopard Trust have proven themselves to be a trustworthy charity. The funds they receive go to helping snow leopards and ALL who share their environment to survive and thrive in this changing and challenging world.
Unlike some other charities, there are no human 'fat cats' creaming off money to give them a luxurious lifestyle!
I especially like the way they work WITH the local people to the benefit of the people themselves as well as the gorgeous cats.

The international snow leopard trust, is an amazing and caring and pioneering people power! I believe that they sometimes risk their lives for these amazing and beautiful creatures. Without them I do not know what what happen. These people are so deserving to be recognised for the amazing work that they do. They're the best!

Snow Leopard Trust is truly committed to their goal in saving those beautiful wild cats. Their range of action enables to reach many, whether they're French citizens like me, living in a big city and feeling otherwise a little useless in terms of acting for the environment, saving endangered species, but also to the local population coexisting with snow leopards.
Keep up the good work guys ! You opened my eyes to some essential actions that need to be carried out out there.

What I especially love about Snow Leopard Trust is how they champion these animals that many people don't even know exist. All wildlife is vital to the planet and their individual ecosystems. I trust this organization is doing their best in sharing knowledge, study results, helping the local communities, and of course taking measures to protect the magnificent snow leopard.

The Snow Leopard Trust is so obviously passionate about their work and they very effectively inspire others to get passionate about saving these fabulous big cats of central Asia. They provide through their newsletters fantastic images of snow leopards caught on remote cameras, stories of the rangers who spend weeks and months hiking in very rugged and isolated terrain to gather data about the cats, stories of women's cooperatives initiated by the trust for income generation and young adult programs that provide invaluable education about the environment and conservation. And on and on.....Truly an inspiring non profit that is playing a very significant and critical role in helping to save not only the snow leopard, but the land the cats and other animals of the region rely on for their survival.

They are a legitimate animal conservation organization. They are on the forefront of protecting Snow Leopards throughout their habitat. They have boots on the ground and work tirelessly to help locals do better when dealing with predation and Snow Leopards, while helping them to raise money for protections, insurance, and helping change opinions of Snow Leopards.

The International Snow Leopard Trust is one of my favorite nonprofit organizations, because it helps to save one of most beautiful animal of our planet.

I have been delighted with the work International Snow Leopard Trust do in order to ensure that Snow Leopards survive and thrive. These stunning cats need as many people as possible to help them. I am kept informed of any developments with regular updates too.

I learned about this wonderful organisation a few years back and have followed their work ever since. I am so very impressed by their efforts to save the snow leopards, while working with local communities and governments. I regularly buy their calendar and recommend them to others I know. Great work!

I have been supporting this organization for a few years. They are really helping the local people find ways to protect their livestock from predation so they don't feel they have to kill the snow leopards. They also are training and paying locals to be rangers to protect the snow leopards as well as helping with the sale of local crafts to provide more income to the families. It's tough work in a very rugged corner of the world.

I have seen their work up close - they are fantastic - focused, compassionate and they get results.
One of the great conservation organisations full of passionate people.

The Snow Leopard Trust has been a favorite non-profit of mine for many years. As someone who lives below the poverty line for a single person in the U.S. I never donate before I research the organization. I found the Snow Leopard Trust is highly rated by Charity Navigator. They take direct donations which go toward funding conservation work for Snow Leopards as well as selling fair-trade items whose manufacture and sale help support trades people of the Himalayas and protection of Snow Leopards. I see my donations and purchases as money well spent and a complete win-win.

The Snow Leopard Trust is an incredible charity that is dedicated to ensuring the survival of wild snow leopards, their prey and the entire ecosystem. I have been a donor for nearly 20 years. Over that time I have seen the team implement many initiatives that have benefited the entire ecosystem including the people who call snow leopard territories home. The incredible work of this amazing charity has used donor money responsibly and have helped to ensure longevity of this incredible species. Though Donaship, I intend to be a part of this work for as long as I am able. Thankyou so much for your hard work Snow Leopard Trust!

I am relieved that the International Snow Leopard Trust acts to protect Snow Leopard habitat, work to prevent poaching and publicizes success. Grateful for their vital work. The welfare of other species and humans are all connected.

The Snow Leopard Trust's commitment to their work is obvious and impressive. Their dedication to the protection of Snow Leopards and the improvement of the lives of human populations in their habitat is clearly visible in their work and accomplishments. From training rangers to monitoring Snow Leopard populations with remote cameras, they are a force to be reckoned with.

International Snow Leopard Trust opened my eyes to a little-known animal in a remote area of the world - the magnificent snow leopard. The Trust’s deep knowledge of this elusive creature, and the threats it faces are so valuable and the organization does a terrific job of explaining so many details about the leopard, how it lives and what it needs to survive. The Trust has a clear steadfast commitment to protecting these beautiful cats and educating people about them.

The work that Snow Leopard Trust does on the ground - in difficult circumstances - is truly amazing!

I've been a supporter of International Snow Leopard Trust for more than a decade now, because they consistently do great work. From educating people to the threats these large cats face, to tracking and studying them in their natural habitat, to working toward greater sustainability by helping the communities that live near the cats' habitat adapt and successfully live side-by-side, I always know my donations are making a difference.

I love them for caring about one of the more obscure big cats and they’re so heart centred

Wonderful organization that is doing critically important work protecting and researching snow leopards and their habitat. The snow leopard would be in a far more perilous situation without them.

Real on-the-ground conservation. Engaging with locals to help them value wildlife, not see it as a threat.

The Snow Leopard Trust is a model nonprofit, working on all aspects of conservation for a landmark species and its habitat, also focusing on the critical role the local humans play in keeping this species thriving. They also communicate in a most engaging fashion with their supporters. Through education, human-animal interaction management, and supporting scientists and the local community supporters across Central Asia, snow leopards have many fans and a fighting chance thanks to Snow Leopard Trust.

This organization is THE one for keeping me up to date with good news, exciting news, relevant news, issues, photos of those big beautiful cats with the big beautiful tails. Because snow leopards need a lot of monitoring and protection in their specific habitat, it takes an org that can fill the bill. And this org does.

This organisation is working wonders for the Snow Leopards, and it is especially the intelligent, structural and thoughtful way of going about their business that I adore. They are not only looking at the preservation of the Snow Leopard itself but also taking into consideration their impact on their human environment, and as such working out ways to help the local population and eliminate as much as possible the potential hazardous effects of the animal on the humans. I think such an approach is key for a longterm and durable preservation of the Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard Trust is doing a truly wonderful job and I love them for it.

I stumbled upon this organization back in June 2023, when my obsession with snow leopards grew exponentially. Initially, I thought Snow Leopard Trust (SLT) was simply doing its goal in fighting for the conservation of the cats, but I thought this non-profit organization took a step further in educating the public not just about the animals, but the cultures and nations in which snow leopards inhabit and are depicted. SLT, joined with Snow Leopard Enterprises (SLE), even promotes the connection between the local women and snow leopard conservation through art and handmade skills. I am a frequent donor (monthly) to this lovely organization and I do hope more can join to fight for the conservation of snow leopards and other wildlife.

Snow Leopard Trust is an amazing organization that has allowed me to broaden my knowledge on issues of snow leopard conservation and research. I appreciate their database on snow leopard research they have available to the public, as well as their knowledgeable blog, extensive photo gallery, and more. They also do an exceptional job at highlighting what conservation strategies are most effective, such as livestock reimbursement programs.

The amazing job everyone does to keep the snow leopards safe. Thank you for the wonderful job you are doing to keep them safe and sharing your knowledge about these beautiful treasures.

I have been a follower and fan of the Snow Leopard Trust for at least 10 years. I love them for several reasons and started following them because I love big cats and was fascinated by the Snow Leopard stories. Then I realized how much the trust has been doing to ensure that the cats and the indigenous peoples of High Asia can co-exist. I try to share these solutions so that everyone will learn and follow them. We cannot survive if we don't all work to understand our inter-relation with the environment and wildlife. Many groups are working to help with this but the Snow Leopard Trust has earned my love and support over and over.

I applaud their dedication utilizing science to create innovative and effective programs aimed at improving the integrity of life and human-snow leopard co-existence.

For a relatively smaller conservation organization as compared to the multi-national charitable groups, the Snow Leopard Trust has invested a lot of careful planning and hard work to make a remarkable impact in a significant environmental habitat: Earth's Third Pole of Upper Asia. Benefiting both the the human communities and the iconic wildlife that live in this unique and challenging habitat, this group has concentrated funds not in building offices and pursuing wasteful marketing - but for on the ground support for field work and local educational efforts that is changing lives and encouraging folks to strive for better solutions for facing the current and coming climate disruptions. .

Very compelling conservation work and wonderful , informative updates and photos.
Love this organization!!! Thank You So Much For All You Do!!!

I have always appreciated how deeply informative their publications (both online and in print) are, and how creatively they operate to achieve their conservation goals. I very much like that they work with the local communities to find ways to protect the snow leopards as well as the herders' and villagers' interests.

The International Snow Leopard Trust has long been one of my favorite organizations and is worthy of the Great NonProfits award.

It's simply great to see the latest International Snow Leopard Trust updates in this most enigmatic of wild cat species.

I have been following the International Snow Leopard Trust for several years, and am very impressed with their work. Their strategy of engaging local villages in conservation efforts creates a strong partnership for protecting the snow leopards. I also love the beautiful creations offered in cottage industry to raise awareness and create income for local people who are sharing habitat with the snow leopards. I have shared the work of this excellent organization with my young students, and they are now interested in preserving snow leopard habitat!

I’ve been obsessed with snow leopards since I was in the third grade and got randomly assigned them for a project. They’re beautiful and elusive and incredibly impressive. That’s why I’ve been supporting the Snow Leopard Trust for a long time- to help save my favorite animal. Now that I’m older and earning a degree in ecology, I have even more respect for what the Snow Leopard Trust does. Their work not only benefits the leopards, but also the ecosystem as a whole AND the local people. That kind of locally driven, socially conscious conservation is the best way we have to save animals and our planet.

Whenever I donate I get a thank you ... simple, basic but shows deep appreciation for money from a senior citizen. Class outfit.

I have been supporting International Snow Leopard Trust for years and have left them a legacy in my will. Not only do they support the snow leopards but they have excellent educational projects and aid to farmers to help the population of snow leopards. They educate local children on the importance of the environment and supply fences for local livestock to keep the livestock safe thus saving snow leopards from death. The organization has the highest rate for best use of donated money.

I just think they do such wonderful work! Their dedication to saving these beautiful kitties and the enthusiasm they convey on the website and their newsletter is infectious. Love love love!

We have been donors to the Snow Leopard Trust for many years now. We are extremely interested in the health of ecosystems and the quality of life for all animals, but the snow leopards are at the center of our hearts! We believe so much in the work the Snow Leopard Trust has been and is doing in incredibly innovative and technological ways, and working so closely with the peoples of these regions, that we have included the Snow Leopard Trust in our personal Trust as a benefactor--so much is our love for the ecological health and sustainability for this beautiful globe we share in harmony with the animals.

Snow Leopard Trust continues to lead the way in conservation. We participated in a zoo partner field camera research project to improve the identification of snow leopards in wild. This will lead to more accurate counts of snow leopards. Keep up the great work!

International Snow Leopard Trust does amazing work. I was already a supporter but at the height of the pandemic, when I was isolating in southern Seattle, they put on a virtual fundrasing event that really cemented my good opinion of them. It was so good. Not super high-tech but fascinating. I watch a bunch of the talks including researchers huddled in a tent somewhere near snowleopard country and reporting on their work. There were some great video reports about their painstaking work in the field tracking snow leopard populations. And the way they partner with local conservationsist and work with them to get local herding populations in Mongolia onside is fantastic. Many locals are now working to save cats they used to perceive as a threat. During that particular virtual event they even had some seesions geared to young people, which were both educational and fun. Their work is effective and important and I support them wholeheartedly.

A wonderful charity spreading awareness and compassion for leopards, a beloved yet widely misunderstood species in need of our utmost protections!

I have been a supporter of Snow Leopard Trust for over 15 years. It's amazing what they have accomplished working with the local people and building their trust and support.

I think that this nonprofit org. does a extraordinary job to protect the snowleopards in their habitat and involve the local people to learn how to live with this beautiful cats.
I live in Zurich / Switzerland and the snowleopards are my favourite animal in the Zurich Zoo which is rated as one of the best zoos in Europe.
The wonderful cats have to be protected where ever they are.

I just became a monthly donor and am proud to have joined Team Snow Leopard. There are so many success stories, gorgeous field pictures of the cats, and interesting news about the specific scientists and projects unfolding.

I love this organization. The do great conservation work with snow leopards by collaborating with local communities, the way ALL conservation work should happen. They also do a great job of keeping donors informed with well-done newsletters and an annual event. Wish I could give more!!

They have so much energy, enthusiasm, and innovation, and make a huge contribution to the awareness and conservation of these magnificent animals. Great newsletters always have interesting stories and lots of amazing pictures! This is a stand-out example of how modern conservation can work: a blend of rigorous science, meaningful engagement with local communities, and effective international outreach with innovative fund-raising campaigns. They're the lions of the Snow Leopard world!

I am confident when I give to Snow Leopard Trust that my money is going to help not just the animals I love, but the people who live with these magnificent creatures.

I enjoy reading about the efforts by the teams to incorporate the local populations to assist with the protection of the snow leopards. I am kept informed and up to date of the activities and seeing trail cam pictures is wonderful. Recently there have been stories about those on the team which really personalize the organization.

I love Snow Leopard Trust! They are doing amazing work throughout the world, trying to conserve a beautiful element in our world. Through their emails, I get information about snow leopards, their habitats, parts of the world I've never dreamt about. I also love that you can purchase handmade items from the local peoples of the snow leopard habitats.

Snow leopards are beautiful and rare. They live in remote regions of central Asia and ae difficult to study. The Snow Leopard Trust has been a leader in developing conservation strategies for these creatures. Thanks to their work, we know much more about the numbers and disposition of the snow leopards.

I love the International Snow Leopard Trust!
I am a 66 years old woman, living in Hoboken NJ.
I read each email I receive and sometimes donate.
The stories of these incredible cats, their local people/ scientists and their stunning environment is always educational and interesting.
I like that the Trust helps the local people to understand how the snow leopards can help better their lives with conservation efforts.
I have seen captive snow leopards at the Bronx zoo and they are beyond beautiful.
But none had the fierce look of their wild family's "selfies" that I see in the emails.
International Snow Leopard Trust is The Best. I look forward to each new story.

I got to know Snow Leopard Trust thanks to my local zoological park ( Parco Faunistico ''Le Cornelle'', in Bergamo, Italy), where a SLT sign is featured in the snow leopard habitat, also including a link for the website: thanks to this, I entered Snow Leopard Trust, starting to receive many mails and interesting news about these wonderful animals, the threats they unfortunately still face and the inspiring stories of the initiatives put in place all over their range to protect them... definitely recommended if you love animals and nature and you would like to know more about them and how to take care of them.

This great organization trying to save snow leopards.

Very skilled team and wonderful project for the species, the environment and the local population!!!

At the moment it's difficult not to be anxious about the environment. When it comes to snow leopards however, I know that they are in safe hands through the work of the Snow Leopard Trust. It's not easy to protect one of the world's most elusive cats in such wondrous but inhospitable conditions. The approach of the Snow Leopard Trust seems to be twofold: learn everything there is to know about snow leopards so we can better protect them and convince local people living alongside snow leopards that they can be an ally, not an enemy. It is both inspiring and practical. And it works.

During the pandemic, the Snow Leopard Trust organised a 24 hour online event with fun activities, presentations of their research, interviews with team members and lots and lots of pictures of fluffy snow leopards. It was a fantastic experience and I'm proud to say I managed to stay awake for the whole thing. Every month I receive an update on their work, accompanied by more snow leopard pictures. It always brightens up my day.

To live on the same planet as an animal that is as charismatic, graceful and beautiful as the snow leopard is an immense privilege, and I'm so glad that the Snow Leopard Trust exists to ensure that future generations will enjoy that privilege too.

I've started a tradition in my family where I give a snow leopard cub to each new baby born. One was recently given to a baby that needed to remain in a NIC unit for a few weeks. I was happy to see the baby doing well enough to leave the NIC unit to a baby bed where the snow leopard cub was with the baby, and she was happy to cuddle with it.

I'm happy to know what joy the cubs brings to the babies, and how the purchase of the cubs helps the snow leopard trust with their wonderful work to help with the snow leopards' survival.

Needless to say I will continue this tradition. We will have a new bundle of joy coming to our family in March.

Thank you for your work.

Ann Marie Briscese

One of the best around.
Does superb work.
Well worth supporting.

Thank you for your efforts to save the snow leopards. What a beautiful cat! We have already lost so many animals to extinction, please, let's not lose another.

I've been donating to Snow Leopard Trust for many years, now, and am so happy with the work they're doing! Taking a holistic approach to conservation--supporting the endangered snow leopards via education and programs within the human communities shared by the big cats, as well as tracking and monitoring those cat populations--feels like the best way to make the biggest, positive impact... for EVERYONE.

I love the simple stories of their work, you can hear their love for their work through the words written. I wish I could support them in a more practical way than through donations and buying their products but age does not let me now. I hope they succeed in in protecting these magnificent animals for my grandchildren to know they are still wild, alive, and thriving.

Snow Leopard Trust keeps its supporters continually updated with their activities and tells us exactly where and how donations are spent. I feel as though I can get to know individual cats via all the photos and “selfies” (wildlife camera video) and ongoing biographies of each individual leopard. All of these images are entertaining, some are hilarious, all are heartwarming. I especially enjoy reading about how SLT interacts with the many locals, villagers, schoolchildren and continues to educate them about snow leopards and to help in preserving them. SLT is basically teaching everyone to also appreciate and love the cats rather than to view them as a menace to cattle. Most enjoyable was a day when supporters could watch and interact with the different researchers in snow leopard habitat around the world. I feel like a valued member and proudly wear the T-shirts!

Snow Leopard Trust has had proven success in the past and is always evolving to maintain best practices. They foster relationships with the communities who live with these apex predators which is absolutely vital to the future of these cats. SLT is a transparent non profit organization and updates supporters regularly. So pleased to be a supporter of them.

The Snow Leopard Trust continues to delight us with pictures of snow leopards and stories of their lives, the rangers, and research scientists who follow them. Snow leopards live in territory inhospitable to a comfortable life, but the rangers and scientists continue to learn about and to protect these magnificent animals. Because of their tireless efforts, we are able to obtain a clearer picture of the snow leopards’ habits and territories. The Snow Leopard Trust also works with villagers local to the animals’ habitat, providing education and enabling them to coexist. The thrill I experience upon seeing the leopards’ photos must also move the hearts of everyone who works to ensure that they survive and thrive. Thank you, The Snow Leopard Trust, for everything you do.

Snow Leopard Trust is the real deal in conservation efforts. It works with local people to support coexistence with these magnificent big cats. It uses employs the best scientists, who use state the art methods that underlie their creative approach to serve the interests of both the snow leopards and the indigenous people that share their challenging and severely beautiful environment.

I love Snow Leopard Trust because they work to educate the public and the communities that are connected to the snow leopard's habitat about the benefits of conserving and protecting all aspects of this majestic predators environment.

I was so delighted to hear of this organisation and the incredibly important work they do. The work is so key not just to conservation but too human learning and changing hearts and minds. This makes it enriching for humanity and increased the sustainability of the whole programme.
They wrote to me personally when I contacted them and that just filled my heart with joy and made the regular email updates so much more important.

Thank you for strengthening our conservation efforts.

I love all cats. I love Snow Leopard Trust because they help preserve these beautiful snow leopards without getting involved in other peripheral issues. They work with the indigenous native people to enable them to coexist peacefully with snow leopards while maintaining their livelihoods. Many of these people learn to love snow leopards rather than kill them.

Always so informative and respectful of the animals. I learn so much from their newsletters and online presence. Really well done.

Snow leopards are amazing, they have been my favorite animal for a long time, and I really believe that this organization is doing their best to help this cool animal trive.

For as long as I can remember, snow leopards have always been my favorite animal. I was so happy to have found SLT. I make sure to order their calendar every year, and I always love the photos they provide with their emails.
As regards the work they do, giving people opportunity to work and earn without hunting the leopards, researching leopard habits, helping fence in the locals' livestock so as to not be endangered by the leopards, etc. is all fantastic. I completely support it all.

This organization both informs and protects, always the winning combination. They help fund research that is fundamental in better understanding and protecting Snow Leopards, while helping local population improve their lives. I really believe they play a crucial role in the Snow Leopards' survival in the wild.

I donate to many conservation groups, but for many years the Snow Leopard Trust has been one of my major beneficiaries because I believe they do good work. They sponsor basic research on snow leopard ecology, including radio-tracking and monitoring wild populations in the remote mountains of Asia. They work with local people to reduce killings of snow leopards, to support local incomes and wildlife rangers. They protected prime snow leopard habitat from a mining threat in Mongolia, and that land is now a national reserve. They sponsor international conferences and efforts to protect snow leopards.

I became a member of Snow Leopard Trust in 2009 when my family and I lived in the Seattle area. This organization's passion and commitment are so evident through their frequent photos, videos, updates, and simply being out there in the public to educate us and inspire us to care and take action. I would see their booth at every environmental event that I would attend. Thank you so very much for being one of my heroes! Thank you very much for your tremendous work and dedication to snow leopards!

If even HALF of the actions and efforts by this group come to fruition, I would call them a success.

Protecting and preserving these magnificent cats in these remote places is a wonderful mission. It can only be achieved with the co-operation and agreement of the local human populations. It appears ISLT is on the right path. I wish them continued and greater success.

Had great experiences with SNT. Transparent and communicative.

This trust sends detailed information about progress and where the donation has made a difference. The dedication of those in the field working with the local populations living in these beautiful yet challenging environments, and evidence of the difference being made for the survival of these magnificent animals makes this a worthwhile donation.

Works to save endangered snow leopards and other wildlife in their habitat by working with local communities. Uses donations efficiently and engages members in various ways to raise funds.

A great organization doing very difficult work in an economically disadvantaged area. To save the snow leopard, and thus the ecosystem, they navigate competing and challenging governmental and socio-political bodies across nations. Absolutely stellar work!

Having grown up in a Central Asian country I have always been admiring nature's beauty and the mountains. Snow leopard, also known as "ilbirs" in my country, is integral to the snow-white peaks and the environment that I have known since my childhood. An elusive animal so graceful and agile was part of the stories and fairy tales that I heard from my parents and read in the books. Unfortunately, in today's reality, ordinary people and the government are not able to provide safe habitats for snow leopards. The Snow Leopard Trust has brought together the enthusiasts and researchers and makes an enormous effort in working with local communities. They promote conservation programs and try to protect the endangered snow leopard.

As someone who adores snow leopards, I was so pleased to find this organization last year. I love what the Snow Leopard Trust for these rare and exquisite animals!

While this charity gets good coverage to aid in their donations, I think the work that they do is priceless. Working with community members in the area where snow leopards are found is the best way to help keep these animals safe. The Trust's continued work shows how we humans can live peacefully with these great cats. Poachers can be eliminated with many eyes keeping watch over this precious animal. I'm hoping communities around the globe do the same to protect their animals against the illegal wildlife trade.

I became aware of this endangered specie some years ago and was intrigued by how little was known about the life of such an iconic animal. Through the Snow Leopard Trust I have learnt so much about their lives. But, probably the the most satisfying thing is the development of projects in the many inhospital places they are found and the efforts to change the thinking of the various inhabitants to preserve the specie instead of killing them, despite the fact that Snow Leopards kill their livestock in order to survive. I am sure this has become a difficult thing to change as their livestock is their main source of income with little other options in the remote areas in which many of these people live.

However, the Snow Leopard Trust has been doing remarkable things over the years in producing initiatives to help these people to look at other additional ways of support. In addition, the educational programmes that are set up, provide the younger generation with the knowledge to hopefully create a lasting existance for these wonderful animals.

Without the donations and support of the many people and organisations involved in providing a platform for their future, the existance of the Snow Leopard would be even bleaker. It's always a great pleasure to read the regular newsletters and learn more about the latest initiatives and see the latest pictures of these wonderful animals in their habitat.

Not only does Snow Leopard Trust do excellent work, but their newsletters are actually worth reading and contain valuable insights on many aspects of snow leopard conservation that I bet most people don't normally consider.

In the field, on the ground, and in the Snow Leopards' habitat the Snow Leopard Trust provides a science based and exciting opportunity to support the survival of this global treasure. Get first-hand reports and stunning photographs of this organisation's vital work.

Wonderful organisation, highly professional and effective to save snow leopards and their habitat and also to help people in the region where the endangerned specie can still be found.

I've been contributing for many years and watched their progress. The things they do for the snow leopards and the people involved with them, as well as the protection of the herders and local people is tremendous. Keep up the good work.

I think it is wonderful that snow leopard trust work so hard to save these beautiful cats keep up the good work because what you're doing is wonderful... I am a member and through world wildlife fund I donate monthly to help a snow leopard.

Snow Leopards' population has risen with the assistance of organizations, such as International Snow Leopard Trust. Yay!

They do a great job of educating people about these cats. Their hands on work is remarkable.

Snow leopards are truly remarkable! These breathtaking cats not only live at 13,000 feet, but they hunt at that elevation as well. Adding to the challenge, the terrain does not level off to become flat where they make their home; therefore, they have to chase and bring-down prey on jagged mountains in an area equivalent to being the ceiling of the earth. Due to an increase in human population in this area, people have moved into the land previously only home to snow leopards and their prey. This has caused innumerable conflicts between humans and snow leopards resulting in the dwindling of their population. Since its inception, International Snow Leopard Trust has been committed to educate local villagers on the importance of sharing the land with snow leopards by showing them, e.g. alternative methods of earning money and constructing better fences to protect their livestock from snow leopards, which results in less snow leopards being killed by farmers. This education has been proven to raise the number of wild snow leopards. The International Snow Leopard Trust does the entire world a great service through their tireless efforts to save this beautiful animal. I am so proud to be a member of this organization.

I have fallen in love with snow leopards and enjoy learning about them and where they live. The Snow Leopard Trust has provided such a wonderful look into the snow leopards and the people of Mongolia and how they have learned to exist together and how the Trust aids in that endeavor. It is such a valuable experience.

I fell in love with Snow Leopards at age 10 when my grandfather took me to the Copenhagen, Denmark, zoo where we saw the cutest Snow Leopard cub ever. I bought a postcard of him still treasured today at 75. Since that trip, I have loved all Leopards to the extreme some might say when more often than not seeing me in all sorts of Leopard clothes, shoes, jewelry and even bags. Of course, only fake Leopard fur is acceptable. Thanks for giving me the chance to be part of your great work also enabling me to support all Leopards. Looking forward to your annual Snow Leopard calendar. Let me add that I am an animal artist and have several Leopard artworks - my own and that of others - on my walls. I can't have too much Leopard "stuff" around.

Sincere thanks..... Inge Alger ������

brilliant communications - personal, feel like part of the Snow Leopard Trust family. not too intrusive either. wonderful, simple, family friendly and fun fundraising events, like Strides for Snow Leopards, that are easy to participate in, no matter where you live or what your circumstances are. Feel like you are doing something worthwhile, no matter how small. they are very transparent with what they are doing as an organisation and i feel money donated/raised is well spent.

Although my 'discretionary spending' is extremely limited, the Snow Leopard Trust is always at the very top of my charitable giving.

I love not just that the international Snow Leopard Trust -- now celebrating 40 years of leadership in the global effort to study and save these magnificent cats -- leads not only with its highly successful scientific research and field studies, successfully negotiating conservation cooperation among (otherwise often highly contentious) governments throughout the 12 snow leopard habitat nations, but especially its pioneering success promoting community-based conservation in partnership with the remote herder and farmer peoples who share the remote regions of the snow leopard habitats.

The Snow Leopard Trust achieves all this with remarkably well-managed overhead: the budget is out there demonstrably making-a-difference.

"Far exceeds expectations"!

The Snow Leopard Trust does great work with local communities.

I first found out about this one via a banner ad on a different website. Clicking on it described the efforts of this charity as to the great work they do to protect and eventually raise the numbers of these amazing cats,. Last year I did make a donation. And earlier this year when they introduced plushies as they call their collections of stuffed animals, I promptly obtained one, following their examples to enable some of the money spent to become also a donation.

Am so proud to be a supporter of snow leopard trust!
I love the updates and photos.
Also, so smart that part of the plan to save these beautiful creatures involves assisting the resident local indigenous people as well.

I've been a member for years and love the work they do to protect Snow Leopards and the human communities they co-exist with.

Snow Leopards are not only magnificent animals but they are vital to the ecosystems they inhabit. The Snow Leopard Trust's work to save them is also vital. If we lose snow leopards to extinction we will have lost not only a magnificent creature but also the vital role they play in their ecosystem which could have serious consequences for that system.

this is one of four non-profits i donate to, the others being the wild animal sanctuary, panthera, and my local humane society. SLT is the most awesome i have seen! the newsletters, videos, articles are the most interesting i have read. i had the pleasure of attending the SLT gathering in seattle a few years ago, and met many of the people involved in SLT. and imagine my surprise when i saw the microsoft ad featuring dr. sharma!! we were part of a group that went to the space needle, along with robin barfoot and other members of SLT. and i have been saving my $$ , hoping that someday i can go on the Mongolia trip, if the pandemic ever ends and it is safe once more. i have ordered many unique items from the Shop- rugs, books, calendars, and felt toys- and get many comments on how cool they are! please give my regards to everyone at SLT! I love you all !

This is an excellent charity and has the highest rating on Charity Navigator. I've been supporting and working with them for many years now, and am very impressed with how they have advanced snow leopard conservation by (among other things) partnering with the local communities near where the cats live. Explore their beautiful website and see!

I have been a supporter of Snow leopard Trust for several years. I find that they work incredibly diligently with local communities in remote areas to protect snow leopards, their habitat and other wildlife that share this habitat. Their content is engaging and I particularly appreciate the opportunity to see remote camera footage of snow leopards and other creatures going about their lives undisturbed.

Have loved this organization for years, such a genuine program focused on doing good not just for animals but the people in the region.

Amazing and wonderful organization! You all do a great job informing the public what you do to save these awesome snow leopards.

They are an amazing organization with constant updates, transparency, and they are interactive with their supporters.

I’m so impressed by the International Snow Leopard Trust. I wish more people knew about it.

I've been supporting Snow Leopard Trust for several years now for several reasons. This organization works tirelessly for the well-being and survival of wild snow leopards, co-operating closely with the local people in the snow leopard range countries. Snow Leopard Trust also spreads awareness on social media (I first learned about them on Facebook) by sharing interesting articles and video clips about snow leopards, and has also hosted many online events, inviting people to join in, get involved, ask questions, learn about snow leopards and why they are so important to the mountain ecosystem, and to help preserve them. Snow Leopard Trust encourages people into action - everyone can do something, be it donating, sharing information on social media, volunteering, or symbolically adopting a snow leopard, for instance. I will certainly continue supporting Snow Leopard Trust also in the future. The snow leopards are more than worth it!

Love the close knit and down to earth SLT crew who care deeply about snow leopards and the environment. SLT builds bridges with and learns from communities that live within the Snow Leopard habitat. Being a former elementary teacher, I have a soft spot for their kids’ links, educational activities and resources that teach about our intricately marvelous web of life and how we can be a positive force for conservation.

Awsome work with the locals to preserve the snow leopards survival

I discovered SNT through the conservation work that was featured in documentaries I viewed online. All of their efforts take place in the central Asian regions where snow leopards are indigenous. They set the model standard for snow leopard conservation. The single greatest threat to these big cats are human animal conflicts. SNT established an innovative solution to the animosity Sheppard's harbor towards snow leopards for occasionally poaching from their flock. A trust fund. SNT works with people, if they don't retaliate and kill the big cat, SLT will compensate them for their losses.

There are videos online where snow leopards have killed livestock but the farmers have not retaliated. Instead they contacted SLT who dispatched people to trap the cats, compensate the farmers and move the cats to a more appropriate location.

This is an organization that has the resources to work with governments in the developing world to protect snow leopards from extinction in the wild.

I donate and attend webinars as well as wear my merchandise with pride. #savethesnows

I have supported this charity for years. They do wonderful education work with local communities to build strong and lasting relationships to sustain these rare creatures in their native environment. I always received beautiful photos and information about the populations they are helping, and I ordered some beautiful handmade products made by local people. I always feel happy and uplifted by supporting such a wonderful organization.

I‘ve been an advocate of snow leopards since 2011, when my family and I first befriended Darhan and Ateri, the Memphis Zoo’s beautiful, playful breeding pair. I learned of the Snow Leopard Trust’s conservation efforts a few years later at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. The people with whom I spoke were knowledgeable and passionate, and I became an ardent supporter of their cause, happy to donate to fund research, education, and conservation. I love seeing the encouraging footage from camera traps, and I’m always excited to read about new cubs! The Snow Leopard Trust’s successful incentivization of herders and engagement of community activists is inspiring and is resulting in improved conditions for both snow leopards and the people with whom they share their territory.

I support environmental organizations which emphasize collaboration and the wellbeing of people. Snow Leopard Trust exemplifies this ethic by working with the people who live in the Snow Leopards habitat. It’s a win for people and animals!

This organization provides a great environmental benefit for a threatened species, and does so in a low-overhead operation that makes the most of donated funds. Their operations also benefit the indigenous residents of the areas of Asia that constitute the snow leopard's habitat. A pleasure to deal with, and I am proud to support them!

I have had the honor of working with and observing the founders and team from the Snow Leopard Trust for over six years as a volunteer at the WCN (Wildlife Conservation Network) bi-annual symposiums. It is very clear that they are dedicated, passionate and highly ethical conservationists. Protecting the future of the Snow Leopard is an arduous task given their remote and harsh habitat, and yet they persevere. Their efforts towards working together with the local inhabitants that share the same terrain as the Snow Leopards are especially admirable.

I have lived in Nepal and am interested in Himalayan animals. The Snow Leopard trust caught my eye because they work with communities to understand their needs and because they contribute to our scientific understanding of Snow Leopard numbers and behaviors.

I dream of seeing Snow Leopards in their natural habitat. This program is the closest I will ever come. Beautiful angel mal's like Snow Leopards are why we should be aware of our environment. Thank you Snow Leopard Trust for all of your work.

Snow leopard trust is a great organization that communicates well, organizes great events (when those are allowed) and is very appreciative of their donors. The mission is narrow but, to our family, very important. They do a lot of good work focusing on local scientists and businsses in Asia where the snow leopards are, and promote the work of women. I feel good about my money going to Snow Leopard Trust.

Wonderful, well-run organization! It's a pleasure to support their efforts to help snow leopards.

These smaller non-profits and charities need our help more than ever, so I recommend looking into finding specific causes you care about instead of the big name brand ones!

I love the transparency of Snow Leopard Trust & that they keep me updated. I also like that it's a specific cause, so you know where the $$ is going. They're also remarkably thoughtful and have sent me handwritten thank you notes, a cute little patch, and you can tell they don't take their donors for granted. Please consider donating! They are really great people, and snow leopards need our help

Snow Leopard Trust does an incredible job promoting conservation and working with local communities. I love reading in each newsletter about all the success stories that they have in snow leopard habitats and communities. It seems like a relatively small organization (compared to things like NWF and Audubon), but the impact they make is huge! Well done SLT!

I am so grateful for all of the work they put in to engage the public in protecting Snow Leopards.

I applaud the hard work International Snow Leopard Trust is doing to support the leopards, their environment and the people sharing their ranges. I am a monthly supporter. They educate and employ locals, pay locals for their livestock that are taken by the leopards, empower local women to make money with crafts as well as do leopard research and conservation. I am proud to support International Snow Leopard Trust.

I have been a member of the Snow Leopard Trust monthly donors group for at least two years. I really like the newsletters they put out on line with the photos and stories about the cats and the local people who live in the areas and their work to protect the cats and their environment. I have bought a few items from the online store and have been happy with them. The calendars are great.

I've been donating to these wonderful people for a few years. I love getting the newsletters that update me on what's being done to help the snow leopards. I haven't ordered any products yet but they're all so cute and look amazing.

I've had the good fortune to meet some of the people behind this organization and was so impressed with their passion and dedication.
Since becoming a supporter, I've come to appreciate the knowledge, expertise and stories behind their work to preserve this iconic species. Further, I believe the approach they are taking of integrating the local populations into the efforts of preserving their snow leopards is the most innovative and successful method of conservation. And, in addition, I so very much enjoy the opportunity to contribute further by purchasing handcrafted items made by these local people, knowing my dollars are contributing to sustain these people while protecting this endangered species.
Overall, this is a brilliant model of conservation that is durable and sustainable, creating a win-win all around.

Snow Leopards: Magnificent animals striving to survive in a very difficult and inhospitable environment. As a supporter of the Snow Leopard Trust, I can confirm that the Trust is doing an excellent job in speaking up for and protecting Snow Leopards. The SLT deserves all the credit in the world for its work to save Snow Leopards and preserve their habitat.

The snow leopard trust keeps donors up to date with incredible stories images of the animals they are working to protect. Their work is incredibly important and impactful for these elusive animals and their communication is great.

They truly care for these cats, and those who provide their support either through money or volunteer time. I’ve written a few emails to them, and always get a personal reply back (not a ‘form letter’. The work they are doing to save this endangered species is so special, and has proven to be quite effective. I am confident that my dollars are going towards saving these stunning creatures, and not in lining people’s pockets.

In a time of massive environmental change and threat, this charity/trust works diligently and WITH GREAT SUCCESS to ensure that Snow Leopards remain on our planet.

Im just happy to working with a Non profit that deals specifically with Snow Leopards. They dont get enough press.

This movement is to protect a precious and rare community of beautiful beings. They deserve our help.

SLT is a wonderful organization! I donate to many environmental, social and animal welfare groups and SLT is my favorite because they are so great about communication. I know all legitimate not-for-profits appreciate their contributors. SLT obviously cares about us! I also love the fact that they work so closely with the communities where they work, and share that experience. They are a top-rate!

I try to donate as much as possible to organizations that support animals and the environment. Only a few are on my monthly list. One of them is Snow Leopard Trust. Not only are they tirelessly doing amazing things for the leopards but also helping people in the regions they interact with value them. I appreciate the time and care SLT devotes to keeping us members apprised of the activities and accomplishments. The stories are heartwarming. This organization makes me feel hopeful about the future of a species on this planet.

I have been aware of and have supported the International Snow Leopard Trust for a few years now. Their compassion, professionalism and ability to work with the people who live in the areas where snow leopards live has been truly amazing. I support several causes and feel that other non-profits could learn a lot from this Trust in how they operate, their transparency and their commitment to protecting and saving snow leopards.

Every non-human animal on this planet holds an important place. Somehow the cause of the Snow Leopard particularly resonates and the International Snow Leopard Trust runs grass roots, on the ground campaigns that raise awareness and save lives.

The International Snow leopard Trust is a highly professional, trustworthy organisation and aims to protect Snow leopards in partnership with communities that share its habitat. The Snow leopard trust also conducts field research and communicates gained knowledge to relevant partners around the globe.
The Snow leopard Trust is definitely worth to be supported!

Every life form has a function that—in its own, unique way—is critical to the sustainability of the ecosystem of which it is a part. While I was working in Nepal in the 1966, a helicopter crashed and killed two people.
A helicopter, like an ecosystem, has a great variety of pieces with a wide range of sizes, shapes, and functions. The particular problem here was with the engine, which is held together by many nuts and bolts. Each has a small sideways hole drilled through it so that a tiny “safety wire” can be inserted, with the ends twisted together, to prevent the tremendous vibration created by a running engine from loosening and working a nut off its bolt. The helicopter crashed because a mechanic forgot to replace one tiny safety wire that kept the lateral control assembly together. A nut vibrated off its bolt, the helicopter lost its stability, and the pilot lost control. All this was caused by one missing piece that altered the entire functional dynamics of the aircraft, which in this case is analogous to the mountainous ecosystem wherein the snow leopard lives. The engine had been “simplified” by one piece—a small length of wire.
At that precise moment, which piece—albeit hidden—was the most important part of the helicopter? The point is that each part (compositional diversity) has a corresponding relationship with every other part (structural diversity), and collectively they provide functional sustainability only by working together within the limits of the systemic whole.
In the mountainous ecosystem wherein the snow leopard lives, which species is the most important—possibly the tiny safety wire—with respect to human desires? Is it the marmot that feeds the snow leopard, the domestic cow that feeds the human, the snow leopard that feeds the lammergeyer, the human who kills the snow leopard (to protect a cow or gain a pelt), or the person who works to save the snow leopard from extinction? Should the snow leopard become extinct, how would that alter the ecosystem’s functional sustainability?

I've been supporting Snow Leopard Trust for a few years now, and for a good reason. This organization does important work on grassroots level, not only protecting the snow leopard and its habitat but also cooperating with the local people in snow leopard range countries, making it profitable for them to protect these wild, elusive cats. Snow Leopard Trust offers many ways to help - you can donate, adopt a snow leopard (or even a whole snow leopard family), purchase handmade items from their webshop, create a fundraiser via the SLT Facebook page, share their articles on social media... There are so many options! Also, when they are asking for donations, they will tell you in detail how much is needed and what the money will be used for. No need to wonder if the donations will really reach the target. I have faith in Snow Leopard Trust and will definitely continue supporting their work to protect snow leopards!

The Snow leopard Trust approaches the work of saving snow leopards from extinction in an efficient, creative and holistic manner. They are great communicators who are sensitive to the needs of the people living in snow leopard habitat as well as those who work with and support them. They are a truly outstanding partner and conservation organization.

I really like the fact that they are working with the people in the snow leopard habitats to help them coexist. If the people who live there are dedicated to the snow leopard’s survival and we can help support them everyone wins. The fact that they have captured a snow leopard that was threatening their livestock instead of killing it proves this works.
The email updates are in depth and lead you further and further into the research.
The items I have bought from them are high quality and well worth the price, not to mention the added value of helping to fund their research and programs. A great organization overall.

Keith

we are happy to partecipate to this very amazing programme

Always really interesting feedback and the wonderful personable communication is always second to none!

Collaborating with Snow Leopard Trust to connect their amazing in situ work (wild conservation) with the ex situ community of Species360 (zoos and sanctuaries captive breeding and education) has been a very inspiring opportunity. We look forward to a brighter future for Snow Leopards thanks to the work they do!

Every animal in this world are placed in this world for a reason we. Need to balance this world they are part off it .All animals need repect.

The International Snow Leopard Trust is one of the most effective and rewarding nonprofits I have ever worked with. Their communication is great, as is the recognition that we receive. They are extremely efficient with fund utilization, and we feel as though the research and work are truly important, productive, and inclusive. We feel true ownership in the projects in which we invest and are very proud of the work they/we are doing.

I have been a supporter of the Snow Leopard Trust for more than a decade and it is my top charity. They provide informative updates about their work and approach conservation in a sensible, collaborative way. I know that my donations are going to support the long term conservation of this iconic species.

Been a monthly donor for the past few years. They have a great focus on long term solutions for saving these amazing animals. Also appreciate the regular reporting on progress made.

I have been involved with the Snow Leopard Trust since 2000. They are a great organization that accomplishes more conservation than almost anyone I know. I donate to this organization and volunteer my time. I can't speak highly enough about the amazing staff and programs of the Trust.

I've purchased hand-made items from this organization and they are great! I love that my cat at home is helping big cats in the wild, and my purchase supports the community work SLT is doing in areas where snow leopards live. Keep up the great work!

As a charitable organization that makes donations to dozens of NGOs a year, Snow Leopard Trust stands out for their wonderful work and feedback! We have received personal updates about how our donations have made an impact which is so helpful to share with our members! Thank you, Snow Leopard Trust!

We have been working with the International Snow Leopard Trust for several years, partnering to help grassroots organisations working on snow leopards in Mongolia and other countries. The support they provide to the scientists and conservationists on the ground is hugely important.

The National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra, Australia has been supporting the SLT trust for many years. The SLT is professional but friendly and personal to it's members. The stories of success are inspirational leaving hope for our wild species. Supporting the communities is fantastic and perhaps the basis of every successful conservation effort. Well done SLT! I hope you can one day support other conservation groups around the world to become as successful.

SLT is doing such great work in bringing much needed attention to this beautiful and endangered cat. Our knowledge of these solitary, yet ecologically important animals has been immensely increased due to their dedicated efforts. I recommend a perusal of their fine website to check in on the progress.

Their work is wonderful for the animals and people in the region

We started offering trade items in our gift shop 10 years ago with good success. Recently we created a button that we give to people who donate one dollar to the ISLT which we match with one dollar from us. This year we had many requests for a refrigerator magnet instead and we are planning to offer one next year for a $2.50 donation which would more than double our annual contribution to ISLT. People are most impressed when we tell them how many countries the Snow Leopards live in and how we connect with the people that live side by side with Snow Leopard in the wild.

Great initiatives to save big cats !
Great support!

They are doing a great job protecting Snow leopards in innovative ways. As simple as using trail cameras to help document poachers to enlisting native families into protectors of "their" local leopards rather than hunting them. Also, creating an 'insurance' fund system that allows families who have lost herd animals to leopard predation to monetary compensation to allow them to continue supporting their families. A great fund! Happy to support them.

Innovative, financially efficient and offers great communication to donors. Takes a holistic approach that involves local communities. Snow Leopard Trust is a model for other wildlife charities to follow.

Snow Leopard Trust is amazing, for several reasons. One is their actual conservation work in the field, which demonstrably has achieved significant results, in preserving snow leopards, economically supporting local farmers, and in helping to change laws in over a dozen countries. Another is that a very high percentage of their funds goes to the charity work itself, as any of the independent charity rating agencies make clear. They are also conscientious about educating people like me--both about their charitable activities and about snow leopards in general. Finally, on a few occasions I've had to interact directly with them and I found them fast, responsive, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend this charity!

Great charity that is really making a difference--not only for the cats but for the local people affected by the cats.

The Snow Leopard is almost impossible to photograph and film, - therefore - to "pitch"
as worthy of public concern and dedication. The Snow Leopard Trust does not have
the benefit of daily television documentation of mankind's abuse , neglect and indifference to creatures we share this planet with -- yet they labor -- under-funded, under-staffed, for a "distant" (to even the residents of central Asian mountains) rare,
basically benign -- " Magnificence " -- the Snow Leopard.

My experience with the Trust has been extremely benign and not at all "distant" -- even though I am not able to contribute more than a small monthly sum. I am in awe of their wise and arduous dedication to the well-being of the wondrous creature and for the -- more "evident"-- struggles of the humans in the leopard's territory. This is not an organization with needless personnel, nor an element of "popular trend", -- these are dedicated "foot-soldiers", gentle warriors, -- ( and we never have a surplus of same -- and we neglect them at our own peril).

Thank you for any beneficial recognition of their work on our planet.

I have always admired and respected these majestic illusive cats. So when I heard about the Trust I joined right away.
I have adopted a snow leopard and I donate monthly to the cause. The trust keeps me updated with newsletter via post and email informing me on it's progress. If it wasn't for the trust these endangered animals would be closer to extinction and that would be disasterous .
So if you love Snow Leopards like I do help keep these big cats alive.

Our institution (Zoo d'Asson France) has been supporting The fantastic work of the Snow Leopard Trust for 10 years.
This fantastic species needs field research and local populations'commitment in order to be saved from extinction, and ISLT does this job marvellously.

I have never, regrettably, seen a snow leopard in the wild. But I have spent a lot of my vacation time over the years in the high mountains of Asia where they live. These mountains are a tough environment for humans to occupy and make a living, so I completely understand the catastrophe to them of snow leopards taking their animals. So I am a real fan of the Snow Leopard Trust's solution - a combination of insurance for stock taken plus financial aid to the local people through setting them up with micro businesses. A few years ago I was able to meet one of their team visiting the UK and was impressed with the dedication and hours of work put in.

The Trust's web site is kept up to date, clear and informative. And attractive! It's an example to any charity in the modern world

Conservation in some of the harshest and difficult of terrains and some of the poorest parts of Central Asia and South Asia, utilising science, technology, local/national experts and community development to protect the world's elusive Snowleopards. Good communication with donors, not so large that it loses touch with those who support it.

I love cats. I am passionate about endangered cats, Snow Leopards are one of the most endangered. The Snow Leopard Trust focuses on saving these big cats by engaging the communities they surround and touch, making a place for both to survive. No easy task, but they do it with compassion for both humans and cats and are successful in creating an environment where both can live and thrive together. I support their mission and believe in its success- I know that they will succeed in allowing future generations the chance to know this amazing feline.

I think the snow leopards are the most Amazing animals and it is critical to ensure their continued existence. The snow leopard trust keeps me
Updated with photos and work they are doing.

I have loved snow leopards and have been working and hoping that I could find a non-profit that worked for the conservation of these incredibly beautiful and rare big cats. I have pledged $5 per month to this non-profit for only a short time, but I get updates and videos from the Snow Leopard Trust. I even got an apology from the Trust because I received a second solicitation for money to support livestock insurance after I had established a monthly donation to the livestock insurance through the Trust. I've never had that happen before, even when I have received far more than a second request.

as i consider the snow leopard one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, i'm extremely proud to be a generous donor to assist the international snow leopard fund continue the outstanding work they do to preserve the snow leopard.

with out their amazing educational and interactive efforts w remote villages and communities in the himalayan mountains in nepal, pakistan. afganistan and other nations that border on the snow leopards crucial habitat, many of the scarce animals would have been lost to herders killing the snow leopard to limit it from killing the peoples live stock which in the incredibility desolate regions is more valuable than a predator which threatens their very survival.

unfortunately prior to the international snow leopard fund programs many snow leopards met an unnecessary and early demise which is heart breaking in my opinion as the survival rate of the animal into adulthood is exceedingly low. as the international snow leopard fund came to be and evolve due to the founders insight of the desperate and delicate existence of the snow leopard, the researchers and scientists as well as sociologists understood the intricate relationship between the snow leopard and the communities which have chosen to live within the leopards habit must learn to coexist with out endangering the other.

in the years since the inception of the international snow leopard fund it's efforts have been tremendously effective in communicating to most of the peoples in the snow leopards range and habit (as well as expanding the protected areas of state/nation sanctioned natural parks and region now dedicated for the snow leopard) that it is in their best interest to protect the snow leopard because of it's ties to nature and preserving the environment which will allow the natural prey of the leopard to flourish so it won't be as interested in the herders livestock.

once people grasped this concept it was much easier to accept the idea of having the snow leopard roam in their hunting regions mostly hunting it's 'normal' prey and having much less need to seek out the livestock.

it takes many years to reach out and to educate all these peoples. this is not an easy nor simple effort. many dedicated people have spent much of their professional lives moving these programs through local communities and national governments. as a donor i recognize and truly am grateful and appreciative for everyone and everything the international snow leopard fund has been able to bring into fruition as well as all their planning for future success in keeping and maintaining a vibrant ecosystem for the snow leopard to thrive in.

Snow leopards are surely among the most beautiful and enigmatic animals on Earth. Extremely rare and almost impossible to see in the wild, they are, nevertheless, the target of poaching for their wonderfully patterned fur as well as the occasional foray into the sheep pens of impoverished farmers in Mongolia and elsewhere. Where the Snow Leopard Trust is a game-changer is when it creates a compensation scheme for those farmers who've lost animals as well as paying them to protect "their"leopards from poaching and act as guides for ecotourists. This turns these endangered animals into profitable animals to keep around - for the farmers and their children and *their* education. A win-win-win for the residents, their families, and the snow leopard.

One of the best things about this nonprofit is that most of its field officers are local men and women. Snow Leopard Trust provides funds and training and help but it doesn't impose itself on local cultures. Nor does it seek to protect leopards at the expense of local villagers and animal herders. It works with people, compensating them when their livestock are killed by leopards, providing alternative sources of income to reduce the temptation to poach leopards, rewarding locals for preventing outsiders from poaching. SLT is small but makes a big difference and does good research. I've been a supporter for more than 10 years.

I love these cats and this is the most incredible group I have had the pleasure to support. Their approach to actively involving and educating the local people in a vast, remote and challenging environment to protect, study and preserve the elusive snow leopard continues to be an astounding and successful cross-cultural project. I have been following and supporting them since their inception and am so impressed with the positive advances they have made to ensure the preservation of these cats. The efforts and success of this complex organization are a model to be followed, encouraged and perpetuated.

I love snow leopards and the Snow Leopard Trust does a great job of saving the cats and helping the local people make a living.

I just fell in love with those beautiful elusive animals about two decades ago, when I was visiting Milwaukee County Zoo. The more I came to learn about them, I felt I need to help them survive not only in zoos (our Tama has been sucessful in breeding them) but also in the wild. ISLT was my first step and they have never disappointed me.

I find this trust to be informative and a good group helping the Snow Leopards. I am glad to be involved even in a small way for these great animals.

My eldest nephew is married to a very lovely Mongolian woman and I have been lucky enough to visit Mongolia on several occasions - as a ‘family’ member rather than a tourist. On one of my visits, I became aware of the on-going conflict between herders and Snow Leopards and subsequently, my nephew sent me information about the Snow Leopard Trust. I was very impressed at the way they were helping herders with plans and strategies, to find ways to co-exist with the Snow Leopards rather than killing them. Through patience and constructive guidance they have created a win-win situation. I joined the group to be able to participate, and donate, albeit in a small way, whenever I can.

Well run organisation with great feedback to donors

The Snow Leopard Trust is working to save one of the most beautiful world cats and at the same time helping the local people that must interact with her. To my surprise I have been contacted personally by the current director. I feel like I am a part of the plan. When the Trust asks for money they show you what your contribution is going toward, which is incredibly exciting. I am so proud that I helped to setup a new wildlife camera trap. I asked that there be a trip for Snow Leopard lovers and the next thing I knew there actually was one. I know I did not initiate this, but one does feel cared for and appreciated.

Great trust. They do all they can to work with local communities to teach them is to coexist with the snow leopards. They also help sell those local communities sell their homemade goods to help their economy. Great organization to support.

The people at Snow Leopard Trust are exceptional. I know that is true of most non-profits because they're so committed. But these people follow-up and provide the kind of information that allows you to share in their excitement when a cat is caught on camera, and you feel the pain when one of the volunteers lost his life because of his work in the field. I genuinely know I'm dealing with real people, that are fighting for the snow leopards.

We love selling Snow Leopard Trust in our giftshop. It helps the organization and us!! With us selling we are able to education our guests about our snow leopards and their story!

I love that the Trust works with the people who live with the Snow leopards to help them find alternatives to killing them.

I don't want these snow leopards to completely disappear. They are such beautiful animals.

I initially checked out their rating with Charity Navigator, which was a 5 star, and it has lived up to my expectations. I get updates on the field work, stories, videos, and spectacular photos. I'm so happy with this charity, I have it on a monthly pay schedule. I love snow leopard and the Snow Leopard Trust honors these gorgeous big cats.

A worthy and much needed organisation to protect the snow leopard.

They work with the people that live in Snow Leopard territory so that they benefit from the conservation effort.

Snow Leopard Trust gets your attention for the snow leopards! They have an incredible staff capable of effectively advocating for these dear animals through innovative campaigns and unique marketing. I trust that their efforts are completely in line with their obvious love for these cats.

A responsible and focused conservation organization dedicated to a gorgeous, elusive and important umbrella species--the Snow Leopard-- for an amazing region of our world.

As a thank you gift to our wedding guests, my wife and I 'adopted' snow leopards from the Snow Leopard Trust in the name of each of our wedding guest/couples. We felt that rather than gift our guest with another cute trinket or a potentially forgettable treat, we could use the opportunity to make a difference in the world by giving a lasting gift to our friends and family, and spread the word of the amazing work the SLT does. Our guests received personalized thank you packets from the trust including an informative breakdown of what exactly the Snow Leopard Trust does, as well as a super cute snow leopard plushy. Our plushy lives in our living room and it reminds us of our special day whenever we look at it. The staff at the Snow Leopard Trust were absolutely wonderful to work with in setting up our gifts, and they continue to send us personalized notes every year to thank us. They really do appreciate their donors. And I should note that our gifts (my wife's idea) was certainly a hit with our guests :).

As a film maker, I have produced many films for non-profits. You get to know the inner workings of an organization when working on their brand. When I was asked to do a film years ago for the Snow Leopard Trust, I was very impressed with the mission, vision and accomplishment of the organization. The Snow Leopard Trust does an amazing job of working with communities to help them be part of the solution in snow leopard range countries to the many threats to these cats. They really do make a difference. The staff are passionate and caring about the cats and the people.

If the snow leopards are to be saved in their native habitats, it will be because of the steady, resolute, science-based, humanitarian-focused work of The Snow Leopard Trust. Dollars go a long way in snow leopard countries, and the Trust does a terrific job of leveraging its resources using local conservationists with local knowledge to design and implement effective cat-saving programs. The Trust's international staff are rock stars in the world of wildlife conservation.

Through their wonderful programs, such as helping the people in these areas understand the importance of saving these animals, and that in actually doing so, impacts their livelihood in a positive way with insurance programs for the livestock lost, etc. this organization far exceeds others in the vision of conservation.

The Trust is an excellent combination of dedicated focus and smart decision making. Over the years, they have grown steadily in impact and reach through intelligent, clear-eyed long term investment of financial and social capital, with everything pointing back to the ultimate goal: healthy, sustainable population of snow leopards and their environment.

Snow leopard trust is doing truly essential work helping preserve this rarest and most beautiful of the great cats. It sponsors never before projects. involvement of local villagers in protection, making snow leopard supporting handicrafts, camera traps across the cats' range capturing never before seen images of this most elusive feline!

Wonderful, wonderful organization.

Brings attention to the plight of the snow leopards whilst working with native people to support their habitat and bring money into their community whilst supporting these beautiful creatures.

Four Paws up!

I love seeing their wonderful pictures everyday on Facebook. Congrats!

Amazing organisation.I personally love snow leopards and this organisation puts them one everyone's priority.They are beautiful creatures and should be saved.

This marvelous organization deserves all the help fools have to offer. I freely admit to being a"cat lady" and thru this org. I can take it to a whole new level. Their untiring efforts and "big cat" thinking create endless ways for them to :? I'mhelp these beautiful creatures not just exist but thrive. Their partnership with the people who live in the leopards native area is truly genius. I'm proud to support this group and love bragging on "my Kitties".

These guys of a fantastic job for wonderful animals.
I love the fact they provide regular updates and that they aren't pushy.
Too job, keep up the great work

I have had a life long love and enamoration of the Snow Leopard. When I saw one at the Siegfried and Roy show in Las Vegas, I literally cried. I want to commend the Snow Leopard Trust on all of their work to help observe AND preserve this most mystical and magical animal. It is only through education we can learn how to help them continue on in their natural and man made habitats and allowing us the privilege of enjoying them from afar. Thank you and may you have many more years helping my favorite of the big cats.

I have worked with members of the Snow Leopard Trust. Great team of absolutely dedicated folks.

What's best is they promote conservation that are backed by sound research and continue to engage actively with local people who share their space with snow leopards--the most important 'focus group' that ought to be included in any effort that intends to protect the beautiful species and the fascinating landscapes they inhabit.

Great work! Good luck.

I love Snow Leopard Trust for the great job they do trying to preserve these majestic creatures. They frequently keep us up to date with important information about the feline status in addition to posting interesting and entertaining stories about these magnificent felines.

I adopted a leopard for my friend as a birthday gift (*purr*fect price range, btw). When I was presented with the option get a plush with my adoption or "maximize my donation, do not send plush" I was won over. Everything they do goes directly to the community and the animals.

Also the cat toys (which are handmade by the locals! wow! so neat!) are a hit with every cat I've presented them to :).

All of my orders have come with a handwritten thank you and even once a bonus tree ornament [which has also become a cat toy in my house].

If you want to know your money is going to a great cause and get really amazing thoughtful items and gifts this is the way to go.

The International Snow Leopard Trust is an amazing organization. They are dedicated to the preservation of snow leopards and spreading awareness world wide.

The Snow Leopard Trust is a great organization dedicated to snow leopard conservation! We have worked with them to hold local fundraisers many times and they are always so helpful and accommodating. Most importantly they are a model conservation organization that sets a perfect example of how to work with local communities while conserving snow leopards in the wild and educating people about the plight of snow leopards.

Snow Leopard Trust is a hard working organization dedicated to the preservation of Snow Leopards. They work closely with the people in local communities in the areas of the world where wild Snow Leopard's exist to not only educate but to gain a close relationship with the people who in turn make handmade items of interest to be sold to the public in order to earn the funds needed to try and keep Snow Leopards safe. They inform the public about the need to conserve and protect the last remaining Snow Leopard's in the wild.

The Snow Leopard Trust is an amazing organization that works to save snow leopards in the wild. They work with the local communities to establish conservation programs to help save the snow leopards as well as the people who share the land with these beautiful animals. They have education programs to teach the people, young and old, about conservation and living together in harmony with snow leopards. The Snow Leopard Trust also sells products hand made by local people so that can support themselves and their families. I have purchased numerous products over the years and will continue to support this great nonprofit organization. Check out their website to learn more about snow leopards and see some of the awesome camera trap photos that they have of snow leopards out in the wild.

It is a wonderful and perfect organization that helps raise the money for the animals in need. They don't keep it for themselves they use everything for helping snow leopards.

It's outstanding what this organization has done and continues to do to preserve and protect our wildlife. I am sometimes overwhelmed at the stupidity of man keeping these beautiful big cats as trophies then when they tire of them for whatever reason they leave them in horrendous conditions. We shouldn't need organizations like this but we do and I for when am honored to do my bit letting people know how we can protect and support our beautiful wildlife through these fantastic sanctuaries. I applaud all that volunteer/help/support and love these magnificent animals. THANK YOU ALL.

The Snow Leopard Trust is the perfect example of a non-profit organization that not only raises money for wildlife conservation but also does an exemplary job of educating others of the importance of protecting snow leopards and their habitats and providing job opportunities for local communities via its Snow Leopard Enterprises program. Other non-profits should take note.

The Snow Leopard Trust is an exemplary organization that impacts my life positively ever day by simply showing up in my Facebook feed or email inbox. The informative, photographically stunning posts by this committed team of professionals and enthusiasts alike truly brighten my day while providing a seemingly endless array of interesting educational and motivational information that offer me the opportunity to help provide the funds so desperately needed to protect these sacred and endangered creatures, and assist them to continue to thrive in their dwindling natural habitats. If not for this group, myself and undoubtedly many others, would not have such an exciting menu of options to promote and provide conservation aid and education. Thank you, Snow Leopard Trust!

I fully support the aims of Snow Leopard Trust and look forward to their informative posts and lovely pictures. They have brought the fate of these lovely cats to,the forefront of attention.

I have several animal sites on Facebook. Snow Leopard trust is the one i look forward to reading the most. The stories and the pictures are amazing. Never unsafe to show to children or animal lovers. And it keeps me up to date on my favorite animal.

Snow Leopard Trust's innovative programs and community conservation program are working to ensure the survival of this imperiled species while also benefiting local communities in the snow leopard's range. SLT''s handicraft-for-conservation is forward thinking and empowering, generating revenue to support both conservation programs and herder communities.
