International Day of the Snow Leopard

International Day of the Snow Leopard is observed every year on October 23.

It aims to raise awareness about the conservation of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), a vulnerable big cat native to the mountains of Central and South Asia.

First celebrated in 2014, it builds on international commitments to protect these majestic cats and the communities that share their habitats.

The UN General Assembly proclaimed this day in 2024, with the first official observance occurring on October 23, 2024.
