Founded in 1981 in Seattle, WA, the Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to protect the snow leopard and its mountain ecosystem through a balanced approach that addresses the needs of the local people and the environment. Snow leopards range over two million square kilometers of mountain in Central Asia, including the formidable Himalayas. Experts currently estimate as few as 3,500 exist in the wild, fewer than the world's tiger population. As an "umbrella" or keystone species, snow leopard conservation has far-reaching importance as it leads to the protection of hundreds of other plants and animals sharing the cat's ecosystem. The International Snow Leopard Trust is the oldest and largest organization focused solely on saving this important species. The Trust works nationally and internationally to raise awareness about endangered species, and to empower people living within snow leopard range to become stewards of their environment. To this end, the Trust conducts educational outreach, scientific research, and community-based conservation.

We believe that when our Mother Earth and all her livingthings were created, a loving balance, respect, and communication existedbetween Humans, all other life forms, and the Earth. We believe that Humankindhas forgotten the original plan, to the detriment not only of others in theanimal kingdom, and of the Earth, but of ourselves. We believe that a return toan understanding of our oneness with All That Is will cure the cruelties andhorrors, and the illnesses with which we find ourselves surrounded. Through ourcaring contribution, we hope to help Humankind remember that original plan oflove and respect, to remember our natural ability to communicate with All ThatIs, and so return to balanced health, physically, mentally, spiritually, and inrelationship to all.
