Pakistan Snow Leopard & Ecosystem Program - PSLEP - aims to protect the iconic Snow leopard and its fragile ecosystem by adopting a landscape approach to conservation and management. This will be achieved by ensuring that the key biodiversity areas, buffer zones, corridors and areas outside traditional protected areas that are critically important for conservation of endangered snow leopard and associated species and habitats are managed in tandem with the sustainable use of these resources and improvements in livelihoods of local communities living in this region.
