WWF ASIA HIGH MOUNTAINS PROJECT SUPPORT FOR THE GLOBAL SNOW LEOPARD AND ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION PROGRAM

The WWF AHM Project provides technical, financial, and capacity-building support to the 12 snow leopard range countries to implement the Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection (GSLEP) Program. This support includes the development of climate-smart landscape management plans, the provision of catalyst grants up to USD 5,000, and the implementation of conservation field activities in six member states. Key milestones include the 2013 Bishkek Declaration and the creation of model management plans for Eastern Nepal and Central Tian Shan.

• The Global Snow Leopard and Ecosystem Protection (GSLEP) Program was established following the October 2013 Bishkek Declaration, signed by 12 range countries to move conservation efforts to the landscape level.
• The primary objective of the GSLEP program is to secure 20 landscapes with viable snow leopard populations by the year 2020 through the use of climate-smart landscape management plans.
• The WWF AHM Project has enhanced national capacity by training focal points in GIS mapping and the integration of climate change scenarios into management plans, with guidance from WWF and Columbia Universitys Center for Climate Systems Research.
• Financial and technical support mechanisms include a 2015 catalyst grant program providing up to USD 5,000 to national teams and the development of two model climate-smart plans for the Central Tian Shan and Eastern Nepal landscapes.
• Since 2012, the WWF AHM Project has operated demonstration sites in Bhutan, India, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, focusing on research, community conservation, water security, and climate adaptation.
