Snow Leopard (Irbis)

2021

• The irbis, or snow leopard (Panthera uncia, formerly Uncia uncia) is a large predatory mammal of the feline family that lives in the mountains of Central Asia.
• He is distinguished by its thin, long, flexible body, relatively short legs, small head and very long tail. Together with the tail it reaches a length of 200-230 cm and weighs up to 55 kg. The fur coloration is light smoky-gray with ring-shaped and solid dark spots.
• The snow leopard lives in Western, Central and Central Asia. In Russia, it inhabits the Altai, Sayan Mountains, Tuva, Irkutsk region and Buryatia. In the Western and Eastern Sayan Mountains the snow leopard has been noted by many researchers .

• Unfortunately, since ancient times, people have ruthlessly massacred the irbis because of the valuable fur, which is not only the pride but also the curse of the snow panthers. Today, hunting of irbis is banned all over the planet.
• In the 20th century it was included in the IUCN Red List, the Red Book of Russia, as well as in the protection documents of other countries. Hunting the snow leopard is prohibited in all countries where it inhabits, the snow leopard is also included in Appendix I of the CITES Convention. Since 2013 12 countries, where the snow leopard inhabits, adopted the "Global program for the conservation of the snow leopard and its ecosystems".
