A suspected poacher was arrested today by the special task force for being found in possession of the skin of highly-endangered snow leopard, estimated to be over Rs 50 lakh in street market.

The accused Ravindra Singh Bhandari has been booked under the Wild Life Protection Act, said SSP (in charge) of STF Senthil A Krishnaraj.

Bhandari was arrested from his Gangotri Vihar home late last night, Krishnaraj said, adding that the accused was going to smuggle the big cat‘s skin and tail to Delhi.

The snow leopard comes under the highly-endangered category and only 500 of them are left all over India, he said adding that the skin recovered from Bhandari’s possession is estimated to be over Rs 50 lakh in street market.

While we humans mostly rely on warm hats to keep our heads warm, snow leopards have round, short ears that naturally reduce heat loss.

You’re not a snow leopard, so you might need a beautiful warm hat for the coming cold days. Why not get one that helps save snow leopards? Where? Here!

In India, we’re working with villages to establish grazing-free reserves, where snow leopard prey species like blue sheep can flourish, giving the cats enough natural prey to stay away from livestock. Find out more at

In Kyrgyzstan, we support local economies by maintaining Snow Leopard Enterprises, a program where families can sell wool products for additional income. All participants must agree to protect the snow leopards living nearby, and the results have been remarkable.
