In Mongolia, the snow leopards, with fewer than 1,000 left, face a survival crisis as impoverished herders encroach into wildlife reserves for more grazing land. Livestock diseases are being transmitted to wild animals, endangering the snow leopards' health and food supply. The conflict between herders and wildlife threatens both populations, along with the dwindling numbers of Mongolian gazelles. Conservationists urge the government to assist herders in establishing sustainable grazing practices to ensure the rights of both wild animals and humans to thrive in the region.
