The Snow Leopard Trust
Since 2009, Dublin Zoo has been providing financial support for the Snow Leopard Trust which works in the countries the species still exists, supporting measures to protect this threatened species. Measures include a long-term ecological study in Mongolia, livestock vaccination and insurance programmes, conservation education and supporting local enterprises.
Dublin Zoo also participates in the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme for snow leopards.
