A ‘climate-ready’ corridor created for Kyrgyzstan’s snow leopards
Kyrgyzstan has established a large ecological corridor to help snow leopards and other mountain wildlife adapt to climate change. The Ak Ilbirs corridor, covering nearly 800,000 hectares, connects protected areas and ecosystems to allow animals to move freely as their habitats shift. The initiative involves local communities and uses flexible management rules to balance conservation with human needs. The project aims to support biodiversity and promote sustainable livelihoods in the region.
