Project funds will be used to support the following project activities: 1) Organizing exchanges and cooperation for snow leopard conservation in developing countries; 2) Reflecting experience from other countries for practices in Soja?s snow leopard landscape protection projects; and 3) Selecting, partnering, and funding a Tajik NGO, and having it sum up its experience.
Expected Results include: reviewing and summing up the learned experience to promote the community-based ecotourism project in Soja and support Soja in ecotourism activities; Compiling and preparing snow leopard individual identification and camera management handbooks, and translating them into the official languages of Tajikistan and so on.
