The population of snow leopards declined between 2008 and 2010 primarily due to habitat loss, poaching, and reduced prey availability. Increased human encroachment into their natural habitats led to fragmentation and degradation of their ecosystems. Additionally, illegal hunting for their beautiful fur and retaliatory killings by herders further exacerbated their decline during this period. Conservation efforts have since aimed to address these issues and stabilize their populations.
