  Title Integrating noninvasive genetics and SECR to estimate snow leopard population in Pakistan Type Journal Article
  Year 2026 Publication Biological Conservation Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 315 Issue 111709 Pages 1-13  
  Keywords Snow leopard, Noninvasive genetics, Population, SNPs, SECR, Pakistan  
  Abstract Knowledge of the abundance and density of large carnivores, such as the globally vulnerable snow leopard

(Panthera uncia), is crucial for their conservation and for evaluating management measures. The snow leopard

inhabits remote and harsh terrain in high-altitude regions of South and Central Asia across 12 countries. It is one of the least studied large mammals in Pakistan, and reliable data on its populations are scarce across its range. The current study adopted a new noninvasive genetics approach—a snow leopard-specific SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) panel designed for individual identification. Over one thousand putative snow leopard scats were collected along transects across the species' distribution range in Pakistan from 2017 to 2023, of which 235 were genetically identified as belonging to snow leopards. A total of 179 snow leopard samples were successfully genotyped, yielding 56 unique individuals, comprising 63% males. Model averaging over top Spatially Explicit Capture-Recapture (SECR) model predicted an average density of 0.17 snow leopards per 100 km2 potential habitat (95% CL 0.130–0.225) across the species' range in Pakistan, with an estimated population of 167.9 (95% CI 129.0–220.6). Current study findings suggest that the new SNP panel, in combination with SECR, provides an effective means of monitoring snow leopard populations. The results validate camera trap-derived population estimates and establish a reliable baseline for monitoring the snow leopard population in Pakistan. Additionally, we recommend enhancing the surveillance of protected areas, which are home to most of the snow leopard populations, to decrease poaching and facilitate the growth of both snow leopards and their prey.

  Title From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan Type Journal Article
  Year 2026 Publication Ecography Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue e08074 Pages 1-16  
  Keywords camera trapping, density, Himalaya, Hindu Kush, Karakoram, mammal, Pakistan, Pamir, snow leopard, spatial capture–recapture  
  Abstract The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya). However, robustly surveying and monitoring elusive, low-density species such as snow

leopards has historically been difficult in the region. As a result, our understanding of the spatial patterns in density and overall population size of snow leopards has remained conjectural in Pakistan. This lack of objective information is an obstacle to realizing effective conservation planning for the species in Pakistan, as well as the broader ecosystem within which it plays a key role. This study aimed to empirically derive population estimates for snow leopards in Pakistan, based on extensive camera trapping conducted over a decade (2010–2019), covering about 39% of the species’ range across four major mountain ranges in northern Pakistan. A total of 828 cameras were placed over 26 540 trap days, resulting in 4712 photos of snow leopards obtained from 65 different locations. Among the 53 unique individuals identified, the majority

(53%) were detected only once, with an overall recapture frequency of 2.28 times per individual. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) was employed for population and density estimation. Model selection strongly favored a model in which density was negatively associated with distance to the closest glacier and positively associated with elevation, and baseline encounter rates were higher in the Pamir–Karakoram region and with

Reconyx cameras than in other regions and types of cameras. The estimated population size for snow leopards in Pakistan was 155 (95% CI 100–239), with a mean density of 0.16 (95% CI 0.10–0.24) animals per 100 km2. This research provides the first robust population estimate for snow leopards in this region, establishing a foundation for long-term population monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures. We recommend the integration of complementary approaches, such as non-invasive genetic methods, to validate and refine population estimates.
