The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut is hosting a free webinar about snow leopards on March 18.
The online event will run from 12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.
The presentation will feature wildlife camera footage of the big cats in their natural environment.
Erica Anderson, conservation information manager for the organization, will lead the discussion.
Anderson will discuss her research on the movements of snow leopards in Mongolia. She recently spent a month in the region to support the animals and nearby herding communities.
Learn more about how these big cats navigate rocky and rugged terrain. The webinar will also examine how their travel routes impact local herding communities and livestock. Attendees will learn how community-led conservation efforts may improve these habitats.
Snow leopards are currently among the most endangered big cats in the world, with their habitats facing threats from human activity and environmental changes, according to the organization.
Webinar participants will have an opportunity to see and hear snow leopards in their natural habitat.
In addition, 25 attendees will be selected at random to receive a miniature plushie snow leopard.
The free event is open to the public. Register for the session, called “Leopard Lens,” through the organization’s website HERE.
