According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), more than 20 percent of all snow leopards worldwide are in Mongolia.

About 953 adult snow leopards, ranging from 806 to 1,127, roam in Mongolia, inhabiting an area of approximately 328,900 square km in Altai, Sayan and Khangai Mountain ranges.

Mongolia is home to the world’s second-largest snow leopard population after China.

To raise awareness for the protection of snow leopards, a fine art exhibition titled “The Land of Snow Leopards” opened on Monday at M-Art Gallery in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
