A surprisingly healthy population of snow leopards - a globally threatened species generally found in the high mountain ranges of Central Asia - has been discovered in one of the few peaceful areas of Afghanistan, a wildlife group said.The discovery in northeastern Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor gives hope to the world’s most elusive big cat, a study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) said this week.
"This is a wonderful discovery – it shows that there is real hope for snow leopards in Afghanistan," said Peter Zahler, WCS deputy director for Asia programmes.
"Now our goal is to ensure that these magnificent animals have a secure future as a key part of Afghanistan’s natural heritage."
Maybe now someone will care what’s happening to Afghanistan. Of course it won’t be Republicans because they’re no damned environmentalists.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
