International Snow Leopard Day

At the first Global Forum on Snow Leopards and Ecosystem Conservation held in October 2013, all 12 snow leopard countries endorsed the Bishkek Declaration, recognizing that snow leopard conservation would require more than individual efforts. A year later and every year thereafter on October 23, International Snow Leopard Day is held to commemorate the anniversary of the Bishkek Declaration and to raise awareness of the snow leopard.
