India marked the International Snow Leopard Day with #23for23, promoting physical activities undertaken for 23 minutes in a bid to raise awareness for conservation of snow leopards.

Under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, India's snow leopard conservation efforts are showing encouraging results. The first-ever snow leopard census reveals 718 individuals across the Himalayas, with Ladakh alone hosting 477 of them.

I congratulate all those who came together to mark the day with innovative activities. A special thanks to the Indian Army for joining in.

I walked for 23 minutes on a paved path to show my solidarity to all those who are saving the Snow Leopards in south and central Asian mountains! Happy Snow Leopard Day from 🇳🇵🙏😀

Сегодня весь мир впервые отмечает Международный день снежного барса - праздник, истоки которого лежат в Кыргызстане.

Для нас это особая гордость: инициатива, рожденная в сердце нашего народа, получила признание во всём мире!

Снежный барс - это душа наших гор, символ свободы, стойкости и любви к родной земле. Как и наш народ, он не покидает свои вершины даже в самые суровые времена.

Когда мы предложили ООН учредить этот день, речь шла не только о редком животном, но и о сохранении нашей природы, наших гор, наших источников жизни. Ведь охраняя снежного барса, мы защищаем самих себя и будущее планеты.

Сегодня я призываю всех жителей Кыргызстана и друзей нашей страны по всему миру посвятить 23 минуты движения - прогулке, пробежке, любому активному действию в честь хранителя наших гор.

Пусть этот день станет напоминанием: охрана природы - это наш спорт, а защита снежного барса - наша общая победа!

Today, the world celebrates International Snow Leopard Day for the first time - a global observance whose origins lie in Kyrgyzstan.

For us, this is a moment of great pride: an initiative born in the heart of our people has gained recognition across the world.

The snow leopard is the spirit of our mountains - a symbol of freedom, resilience, and love for our homeland. Like our people, it never abandons its peaks, even in the harshest of times.

When we proposed to the United Nations the establishment of this day, our goal was not only to protect a rare species, but also to safeguard our nature, our mountains, and our sources of life. By protecting the snow leopard, we are protecting ourselves - and the future of our planet.

Today, I call on all the people of Kyrgyzstan and our friends around the world to dedicate 23 minutes of movement - a walk, a run, or any active gesture - in honor of the guardian of our mountains.

Let this day remind us all: protecting nature is our sport, and saving the snow leopard is our shared victory.

Snow leopards roam across vast ranges in mountainous habitat. As development increases, these magnificent big cats are more affected by roads, railways, & other linear infrastructure. New guidance looks at ways to avoid & mitigate these negative impacts. https://t.co/KNff9t0WXV

[Center for Large Landscape Conservation @Largelandscapes]

Experts have created new recommendations to help governments integrate safeguards during linear infrastructure development to protect the magnificent snow leopard and its habitat.
