Guardians of the Sacred Snow Leopard

Launch of “Guardians of the Sacred Snow Leopard”

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new biocultural initiative in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The project is implemented by Rural Development Fund (Kyrgyzstan) in partnership with Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) and the Eco-Cultural Association “Gandji Vatan” Republic of Tajikistan, with support from S.O.S. Serving Our Spirits Fund.

This initiative integrates:
• environmental education
• traditional ecological knowledge
• intergenerational dialogue
• revival of cultural practices such as the Snow Leopard Dance

• community-based engagement in mountain regions

The project aims to strengthen biocultural heritage and foster a new generation of youth who perceive conservation not merely as a responsibility, but as a cultural and spiritual value.

We are grateful to S.O.S. Serving Our Spirits Fund and Snow Leopard Conservancy for their trust and partnership.
