"snow-leopard"

Himachal Pradesh’s snow leopard population has risen to 83 from 51 in 2021, according to a new survey by the Wildlife Wing and NCF. The highest densities were found in Spiti and Pin valleys, with rare species also documented.

As many as 718 snow leopards were reported as part of the first-ever scientific exercise that was carried out by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII).

A notification in this regard was issued Tuesday by the Principal Secretary Forest, Ecology and Environment, Pawan Kotwal.

Twitter users were left scratching their heads when IFS officer Ramesh Pandey shared a photo of a snow leopard descending on a mountain.

Each child also took part in an activity of adopting a new animal and also designed an animal protector badge.
