The park takes part to the conservation of the snow leopard by supporting the Snow Leopard Trust, active for over 30 years, taking care of building partnerships with local communities in order to set up the necessary priorities for the conservation of the Snow Leopard in the wild. The local communities are mainly composed of herders that depend greatly on their livestock as source of food and economy. Snow leopards, due to the decrease and destruction of their habitat, are increasingly coming into conflict with herders, preying on farmed animals. Therefore, the conservation programmes aim to help local communities to reduce the conflict between man and leopard in favour of both.

The community-based programmes that Parco Natura Viva supports are the Snow Leopard Enterprises, that allows the creation of sustainable economic opportunities, livestock vaccination plans to reduce the occurrences of pathologies and increase the economic stability of herders, livestock insurance, allowing herders to be reimbursed for the loss of animals predated by snow leopards, predation prevention and conservation education programmes on the importance of safeguarding this big cat.
Since 2015 Parco Natura Viva has been collaborating in a scientific study on the population of snow leopards on the Altai mountains in Mongolia. This study, proposed by the Mongolian conservation organisation Green Initiative, is carried out by the Biodiversity section of Trento’s Science Museum (MUSE). The project envisions a series of expeditions in Mongolia by a team of researchers led by MUSE’s zoologist and conservation biologist Francesco Rovero. The first expedition took place in spring of 2015, followed by other three missions, one for each year, in which Parco Natura Viva gave its contribution by purchasing camera traps used for the Snow Leopard’s survey on the Altai mountains.
