Snow leopards are classified as a vulnerable species. Their population is estimated at between 2,700 and 3,400 adults, with possibly up to 7,500 animals of all ages in total. The species is threatened by declines in their prey, poaching, climate change, and threats associated with the expansion of human activities in their habitat, such as mining, agriculture, and road building.
