SNOW LEOPARD CONSERVATION IN THE HIMALAYAS
Last month, a team of FIGS Ambassadors traveled to the Ladakh region of the Himalayas, which is home to 300,000 people—who live alongside 25,000 domesticated and feral dogs, and more than 700 snow leopards.

Nearly all of the dogs are unvaccinated from rabies, leaving the community, their livestock, and other animals—including the snow leopards—at risk.

In partnership with Mission Rabies, FIGS Ambassadors vaccinated nearly 200 dogs—protecting the snow leopards and helping preserve the delicate ecological balance between humans, livestock, and wildlife.

That is ONE HEALTH in action.
