The world's rarest cheetah is officially removed from the Red Book
A beautiful creature of the Himalayan peak, seemingly waiting for extinction, is now somewhat safe.
Since being observed by biologists in 1970, the snow leopard has been listed as "endangered" by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) in the Red Book. Partly because of people, but the main reason is because the area lives in the highest and most dangerous locations of the Himalayas, so it is difficult to accurately assess the number of species.
There are currently at least 4,000 mature snow newspapers dominating the Himalayan peak.
It seems that just waiting for the day to disappear, but recently, with the advances in tracking technology, experts have obtained accurate data on this rare leopard species, thereby helping the snow leopard to leave the list. " about to become extinct " and take " easy to be dangerous ".
"To be considered critical, the number of individuals in the species must be less than 2,500 outside nature, and the downward trend must be very strong," said Dr Tom McCarthy from Panthera charity.
According to the doctor, there are currently at least 4,000 mature snow newspapers dominating the Himalayas, so they are no longer in danger. The number of species still decreases, but at a speed not as fast as we thought.
"This is good news, but does not mean they are safe," said Dr. "They are still at great risk of extinction in the wild, and the number still tends to decrease, though not too quickly."
Snow leopard - the beautiful creature of the Himalayas has been marked in the Red Book.
McCarthy said that this information means conservationists need more action to save large cats.
Their biggest threat is humans - from poaching behavior . Next is climate change - the stuff that puts snow to live in higher and higher areas.
And most importantly, similar studies need to continue to be done, so that people can confirm the specific status of future animals.
