   According to Amjad Aslam of WWF-Pakistan, "It is the first time [snow leopards] are being tracked through the global positioning system [GPS]. We'll be getting information almost online."
   
   There are between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards remaining in the world, from 200 to 420 of them in Pakistan. The scientists hope to catch and collar five leopards. "Snow leopards are nocturnal, they live at an altitude which is not very healthy for human beings, and they are also very elusive, so we really don't know a lot about them," says Aslam. "By looking at this tracking data we'll know their home range-what is the minimum area a snow leopard requires to live and thrive."
   
   A second cat was caught in a special humane snare, but it managed to escape.
   
   As people move higher into the mountains, they hunt the wild sheep and goats on which the snow leopards depend. "Once their prey has been reduced, the snow leopards tend to attack livestock, so retaliatory killings are quite common," explains Aslam.

   "The snow leopard is a magnificent predator and flagship species for the spectacular mountain ranges of Asia, including the Himalayas, Karakorams, Hindu Kush, Pamirs, Tien Shans, and Altai ranges," said Amjad Aslam, Head of Communications at WWF-Pakistan.
