Known as the “Ghost of the Mountains,” the Snow Leopard remains one of the most elusive big cats.

Adapted to high altitudes, it navigates steep, snow-covered landscapes with precision.

Camouflaged against rocky terrains, it survives in some of the harshest environments on Earth.

Snow leopards inhabit mountain ranges that support glaciers and river systems sustaining millions of people downstream.

Its presence reflects the fragile balance of mountain ecosystems and high-altitude biodiversity.

They almost went unseen. Again.
Our camera traps in Fort Munro, Punjab just captured footage of the striped hyena, critically endangered in Pakistan, rarely documented, almost never talked about.
Today is International Hyena Day. This is why it matters.🐾

Rangelands cover about 60% of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) and are the primary source of livelihood for 25–30 million people across the region. Climate change and land-use pressures are putting these ecosystems and the communities that depend on them at risk, and yet their stories remain largely untold.

To mark the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026), we announced a photo competition in July 2025 on the theme: “Voices of the highlands: Life, land and livestock in a changing world”. The contest highlights the importance of pastoralism and shines a light on the richness and resilience of pastoral communities across the HKH region.

ICIMOD and FAO Nepal are thrilled to announce the winners of the photo competition:

🏆 Jury’s Choice Award - Sonam Tshering, Bhutan

🏆 Public Choice Award - Taseer Baig, Pakistan

🏆 Special Category (FAO Nepal) - Tulsi Rauniyar, Nepal
