520 "Snow Leopards: Biodiversity of the World: Conservation
from Genes to Landscapes is the only comprehensive work on
the biology, behavior, and conservation status of the snow
leopard, a species that has long been one of the least
studied, and hence poorly understood, of the large cats.
Breakthroughs in technologies and methodologies to study
this elusive cat have come rapidly, including non-invasive
genetics, camera traps, and GPS-satellite collaring. The
book begins with chapters on the genetic standing and
taxonomy of the snow leopard, followed by chapters on
their behavior and ecology. Additional contributions
follow on the current and emerging threats to the species,
which include longstanding concerns, such as poaching and
conflicts with livestock, and new and emerging threats
such as mining and climate change. A section on
conservation solutions, backed by valuable case studies,
starts with an overview of the important role mountain
communities play in assuring the snow leopard's long-term
persistence. In addition, chapters on the role of captive
snow leopards for the conservation of the species, state-
of-the-art techniques and technologies for studying and
monitoring snow leopards, status reports from around the
region, and future perspectives, such as transboundary
conservation initiatives, international conventions (CITES,
CMS, etc.), the role of the IUCN Cat Specialist Group and
the Snow Leopard Network, and undertakings such as the
Global Snow Leopard Forum facilitated by the World Bank
are also included. Serves as the first and only
comprehensive book on the biology, behavior, and
conservation status of the snow leopard Brings together
the most current scientific knowledge, documents the most
pressing conservation issues, and shares success stories
in alleviating the broad threats that now jeopardize the
long-term survival of this species Brings current
knowledge of the species, not only to researchers and
conservationists, but also to decision makers, academics,
and students Edited by recognized snow leopard experts,
with more than 50 years of collective experience in
research and conservation of the species."
