Guidelines for Linear Infrastructure in Snow Leopard Landscapes

Linear infrastructure—such as roads, railways, and power lines—poses an array of threats to snow leopards, including habitat fragmentation, wildlife-vehicle collisions, the introduction of pathogens and pollutants, and more. Forthcoming guidelines will engage decision-makers and practitioners to not only protect snow leopards and their prey, but also preserve ecosystems that provide invaluable benefits for people, nature, and our climate.
