WWF Uses Trail Cameras to Document Elusive Snow Leopards

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is employing trail cameras in China as part of an ongoing survey to document snow leopards, notoriously elusive big cats living at high altitudes. These cameras, capable of functioning in extreme cold, have captured over 600 photos and 157 sightings since the survey began in 2022. The initiative aims to shed light on the species' population, of which only an estimated 22% has been documented. The survey has also incidentally photographed other wildlife, such as foxes and takins.
