Tracks of the Snow Leopard

Shafqat Hussain hopes to save Pakistan's Snow Leopard by exploring the myth and science behind it.

The Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia) is one of the most elusive of cats and makes it home in the rugged ranges of Central Asia and South Asia. In the mountains of Baltistan in northern Pakistan, Shafqat Hussain has come up with an innovative win-win solution called Project Snow Leopard to save the animal in its natural habitat, by insuring the livestock it preys on. In 2006, Hussain received the Rolex Award for Enterprise for his work. He spoke to Asian Geographic about what it means to study this magnifi cent creature.
