Say goodbye to the snow leopard

To be honest, I thought these guys were already gone, so, maybe there is hope. I'd like to believe that, I really would, but...

An estimated 6000 snow leopards remain in the wild and their numbers are falling rapidly. China's black bears are also threatened, but tigers are most at risk from the rising demand. Their skins are mostly brought into Tibet from India and sold to smugglers eyeing the lucrative trade in Beijing.
