🏔️ Mountains are the world’s water towers with nearly 2 billion people relying on glacier melt for drinking water, irrigation & energy.
But glaciers are disappearing fast, threatening agrifood systems & cultural heritage.
We need urgent global action.

🧬The research explores the Dzungarian region as a possible #geneticbridge linking the northern & southwestern #snowleopard ranges – spanning Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan.
#Connectivity may depend on a network of narrow corridors across mountains.

Exciting pic from WCS Mongolia. Khulans on the Eastern steppe where we are working with partners to bring them back.
Last year, a WCS survey counted 300 there, beyond their
IUCN range. Recently, a follow-up confirmed that figure and we spotted foals—a great sign. 🌏
