MINING PERMITS IN MONGOLIA THREATEN SNOW LEOPARD HABITAT
Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/ The Snow Leapord Trust has recently discovered that mining interests in Mongolia’s South Gobi could threaten the snow leopards they have been studying.
According to the Snow Leaopard Trust, there are 92 mining permits now covering nearly all of the South Gobi’s Mountains. This area is a home to dozens of snow leopards they have come to know over the last year through our long-term study. Currently these permits are issued for exploration, however some have already gone to the exploitation (extraction) phase, they say.
Founded in 1981, the Snow Leopard Trust is the world's leading authority on the study and protection of the endangered snow leopard.
