Today’s #SLNWebinar⌛️

#EUROLYNX unites 22 countries to scale carnivore science across Europe—identifying human disturbance as the main limiting factor.

Lessons for #SnowLeopard #Conservation

Join us: bit.ly/SLNEurolynx

Today is International Day of the Arabian Leopard! Despite being the smallest leopard species, they are the largest cat species on the Arabian Peninsula. Arabian Leopards are critically endangered, with only ~100 remaining.

📣 Open! 2026 #SnowLeopard #TrainingGrant

Supported by the Pangje Foundation, SLN invites applications to strengthen grassroots #conservation through training, community initiatives, monitoring & leadership development.

⏳ Deadline: 15 Feb 2026

#Call to Collaborate

📣 Researchers in #Asia with #lynx data are warmly invited to explore collaboration with #EUROLYNX.

Collaborative science thrives on shared perspectives.

#WildCats #collaboration #WildLifeWednesday

Why This Matters for the #SnowLeopardNetwork?

After the talk:

💬 Which elements of the EUROLYNX model could — or could not — work for #snowleopard research across High Asia?

A moderated, inclusive discussion with #SLN members.

#snowleopards #conservation

EUROLYNX integrates:

📡 Telemetry from 800+ lynx
📸 Camera traps & AI identification
🦌 Prey & livestock data
🚧 Roadkill & human impact data

→ Producing Europe-wide conservation insights

Why EUROLYNX?

#EUROLYNX is a collaborative #researchnetwork studying Eurasian lynx ecology at the range of its distribution.

Join the 1st #SLNwebinar of 2026: How genomics can inform #conservation, with Dr. @kasolari.bsky.social

Discover how whole-genome sequencing & new SNP panels are revolutionizing #snowleopard protection

📅THU-Jan 22 | 10AM-Bishkek

Register: bit.ly/SLGenomicHis...

🧬Recent #research by @kasolari.bsky.social et al. shows how whole-genome data can inform #snowleopard conservation—from species history & distribution to individual id. using non-invasive samples—demonstrating how genomics can support real-world #conservation.

🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Why attend? 🧬

Dr. @kasolari.bsky.social will detail how to identify individual #snowleopards using fecal samples and how YOU can apply this new SNP panel to your own research areas.

Facilitated by Dr. Shakeel Ahmad.

#HappyNewYear — from our community to yours 🎇

For over 2 decades, SLN has grown through shared knowledge & #collaboration across borders. Thank you for another year advancing science, local leadership & conservation.

Here’s to a hopeful 2026! 💫

#SnowLeopard #Conservation

This imbalance affects #biodiversity, #watersecurity, and #mountain livelihoods. The good news? Low-emission pathways can stabilize habitats and reduce conflict risks.

📖 Zhang et al. (2025), Ecology & Evolution (#openaccess): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #ClimateAction

As #climatechange accelerates, #mountain systems are shifting. Snow leopards & blue sheep are pushed upslope—but unevenly. 🐑🏔️🐆

Blue sheep lose habitat much faster, leaving predators without prey and increasing risks of livestock #conflict.

High in the #mountains, survival depends on relationships 🏔️

This #InternationalMountainDay reminds us that mountains are living systems—linking climate, wildlife, water & people. New #SLResearch shows #ClimateChange is disrupting these links

#MountainsMatter #Glaciers @fao.org @undp.org @unep.org

🏔️ Mountains are the world’s water towers with nearly 2 billion people relying on glacier melt for drinking water, irrigation & energy.

But glaciers are disappearing fast, threatening agrifood systems & cultural heritage.

We need urgent global action.
