Snow Leopard Network (SLN)

On October 23, we are coming together to move for a shared cause, the athlete of our mountains, the snow leopard.

Through #23for23, from the Himalayas to the Pamirs, we will walk, cycle, stretch, & climb for 23 minutes, reminding the world that protecting nature starts with a single step.

This #InternationalSnowLeopardDay, show your support by:
1) Choosing your favorite activity
2) Doing it for 23 minutes
3) Share and tag us with #23for23 to raise awareness!

snowleopardnetwork.org/resource-centre/webinars About the Talk: EarthRanger – Protecting wildlife and ecosystems with data-driven insights. We bring you an overview of the EarthRanger platform for protecting wildlife and ecosystems with data-driven insights. EarthRanger brings everything together—collect data from the field, integrate your technology, see your wildlife and teams in real time, create reports and visualizations to summarize your data, and develop strategies that accelerate your impact. Since its inception in 2015, EarthRanger has helped protected area managers make informed, conservation-related operational decisions. It is also used by ecologists and biologists to study wildlife and habitats, and to advocate for their protection. Our Speakers: Antony Lynam works for the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), designing conservation solutions and managing partnerships for EarthRanger, Asia/ Oceania. He previously worked for the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). An Australian national, he has over 30 years of experience conducting research and using evidence-based approaches to advise wildlife conservation projects and initiatives in Australia, the United States (California), Africa and Asia and has served as a technical advisor for wildlife conservation projects in the Greater Mekong (Lao, Myanmar, Cambodia), Southeast Asian Archipelago (Philippines, Indonesia), South Asia and Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh and Sri Lanka), and Temperate Grasslands (Mongolia) regions of Asia. He has designed training curricula and trained government research, wildlife and protected area staff, and university students in wildlife survey and monitoring, conservation and protection techniques. Antony helped organize some of the first multiagency wildlife law enforcement training courses in the region and helps train and develop conservation capacity for local NGOs. He has written and helped implement recovery programmes for tigers, Asian elephants, and tapirs and recently served as the Subregional Support Officer to the CITES Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) Programme in Southeast Asia. Antony provided inputs to the IUCN Guidelines for Managing Wildlife Crimes in Protected Areas and serves on the IUCN Cat Specialist Group. He previously led the SMART Training Taskforce and has organized SMART training exercises globally. He is a Past-President of the Society for Conservation Biology. Antony has written or contributed to over 60 peer-reviewed research articles and popular articles related to wildlife conservation. Purevjav (Pujii) Lkhagvajav is the Executive Director for Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation NGO and Program director for Snow Leopard Trust in Mongolia, where she has spent time studying snow leopards in the South Gobi region and conducting population surveys across Mongolia’s most critical snow leopard habitat. She has trained over 100 rangers, specialists in survey techniques and camera trap monitoring, and built sustainable capacity for snow leopard research throughout Mongolia. Choidogjamts Byambasuren works as a research and monitoring specialist at the non-governmental organization Snow Leopard Conservation Foundation in Mongolia. Since 2020, he has been working to increase the knowledge and capacity of community volunteer rangers, to motivate them, and to facilitate their field work. The SMART program is being used to facilitate the patrolling of rangers and the collection and transmission of monitoring data.
