Snow Leopard
(From The Aspinall Foundation)
The Snow Leopard is a beautiful creature that resides in the mountain ranges of South and Central Asia. These secretive animals vie over 5,000 metres above sea level and are slowly becoming extinct, with only 7,000 currently existing in the wild.
With their stocky bodies and thick fur, the Snow Leopard is perfectly adept at surviving upon in the barren landscapes they dwell, yet human interference is something that cannot be justified in their existence. Illegal hunting has pushed numbers to catastrophic levels, now is the time to help the Snow Leopard survive and flourish.

About the Aspinall Foundation
The Aspinall Foundation help to protect rare and endangered animals not just in the UK with their Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, but also in Africa.
They have a solid background in the breeding and reintroduction of threatened species, in particular two long-standing rehabilitation and reintroduction projects in Congo and Gabon for western lowland gorillas.
When you adopt an animal with the Aspinall Foundation you will be making a real difference to endangered animals for the future, as well as giving the gift that shows how much you care!
