It became known that the predator descended into the populated area and climbed a tree. The ranger of the Chon-Kemin State Natural Park, J. Chokoev, and hunter U. Abikanov promptly arrived at the scene to help safely lower the animal from the tree.
The snow leopard is a rare species protected by the state, and its appearance is of particular significance for monitoring the population status and conserving biodiversity in Kyrgyzstan.
The ministry emphasizes the importance of each recorded case of the snow leopard's appearance for the preservation of the country's ecosystem.
