Snow leopards, restricted to mountainous terrains in 12 countries across South and Central Asia, occupied a range of 47,572 km² in Ladakh alone. Globally, snow leopard populations range from 0.92 to 1.8 animals per 100 km², the study found. Previously, the highest snow leopard densities globally ranged from 1.06 to 1.84 individuals per 100 km² in parts of Tibet. The new findings from Ladakh significantly exceed those benchmarks.
