Dr. Rodney Jackson:

Saving the Snow Leopard

There are less than 7,000 snow leopards left in the wild. From being poached for their pelts and bones, to being killed by rural herders in retaliation for deaths of livestock, snow leopards have many pressures to face. Dr. Rodney Jackson, leading authority on snow leopard habitat, will share detail on the threats putting these cats at risk and how he has devoted his life to protecting them by teaching the locals who live with them how to be their greatest protectors. With villagers and herders becoming citizen scientists who are using modern technology paired with their knowledge of local wildlife and cultures, snow leopards stand a chance.
