SNOW LEOPARD CONSERVANCY

Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 61-1614981) that supports community-led conservation and stewardship across the snow leopard’s range. The organization partners with local conservationists, Indigenous stewards, and international partners to reduce human–wildlife conflict, strengthen livelihoods, and protect high-mountain ecosystems. Founded by Dr. Rodney Jackson and run from its U.S. headquarters, SLC implements collaborative field projects (through initiatives such as the Land of Snow Leopard Network), applied research pilots, conservation education, and livelihood programs in multiple range countries. In the last few years (notably 2023–2024) SLC published annual impact reports, ran veterinary and livestock-health interventions in Nepal, piloted deterrent and monitoring technologies in Mongolia, and engaged in regional advocacy and network-building events such as participation in international conservation fora.
