Snow Leopard Up Close: Camera Trap Footage from Mongolia’s Mountains

Snow leopards roam some of the harshest landscapes on Earth—and thanks to science and your support, we’re helping keep them safe.

This rare camera trap footage, captured under a rocky boulder formation in Mongolia, shows a snow leopard emerging from the open mountains and investigating the camera. These moments help conservationists understand snow leopard behavior and protect critical habitats.

TNC in Connecticut’s Erica Anderson brought her expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from local landscapes to Mongolia, working with the TNC team to build on camera trap data and deepen our understanding of these elusive “ghost cats.”
