Habitat fragmentation is a big threat to biodiversity worldwide. In the Gobi Desert, Wildlife Conservation Society Mongolia studies its effect on wildlife. They also work with nomadic herders (here recently placing GPS collars on livestock) to understand how fenced railways impact livestock and people.

Thank for the contributions of hundreds of researchers, conservation organizations, scholars, and community rangers. Conducting fundamental research and surveys is no easy task. May the shared home of humans and snow leopards continue to thrive.
