Answer:
Most scientists estimate that there are between 4,000 and 6,500 snow leopards left in the wild. Some snow leopards are in zoos. The zoos work to help conserve the species. Snow leopards are endangered.
There are several reasons why the number of snow leopards is decreasing. Historically, and occasionally still today, snow leopards were hunted for their thick, soft fur. Other times snow leopards are killed by ranchers when the leopards attack their livestock. Humans now use some of the snow leopard’s habitat for farming and mining. This can make the snow leopards or their prey move to different habitats. Conservation groups are working to protect snow leopards and their habitat.
