The document on Project Snow Leopard launched by MoEF recently. It stresses on the landscape approach to wildlife conservation in the Himalayan high altitudes and is based on principles of robust science and community involvement in conservation.

On 20 January 2009, the Government of India announced a new and ambitious conservation programme called Project Snow Leopard. This exciting development represents a major up-scaling of our research and community-based conservation efforts in the higher Himalaya. The launch of Project Snow Leopard came after five years of work by NCF/Snow Leopard Trust scientists Dr. Yash Veer Bhatnagar and Dr. Charudutt Mishra with the Central Government and the five Himalayan State Governments. Project Snow Leopard encourages a landscape approach to wildlife conservation in the Himalayan high altitudes, and is founded on the twin principles of robust science and strong community involvement in conservation.
