Kyrgyzstan is actively working to preserve snow leopard

Kyrgyzstan is actively working to preserve the snow leopard, which is a symbol of long-term sustainable development of mountainous regions. The Special Representative of the President, Dinara Kemelova, announced today on the sidelines of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

According to her, these efforts are being made jointly with 11 countries.

In this regard, the Kyrgyz Republic is promoting a resolution on the proclamation of the International Snow Leopard Day by the UN General Assembly. Dinara Kemelova called on the participants of the event to support the resolution.

In December 2023, the snow leopard was recognized as the national symbol of Kyrgyzstan, and in September 2024, the head of state Sadyr Japarov announced the introduction of a resolution of the UN General Assembly on the proclamation of the International Snow Leopard Day.

It is already celebrated on October 23 in a number of countries.
