A vulnerable newborn snow leopard, 2-months-old, plays with her sister and their mother Natasja, 7-years-old, in their enclosure at Wroclaw Zoo, Wroclaw, Poland on July 24, 2023. It is estimated that the global population of snow leopards is about 4-7 thousand individuals, and has declined by at least 20% over the past two decades due to habitat loss, loss of food base, poaching and persecution. The species was listed as in dangerous, but to the education and breeding programs by zoos, it is now listed as vulnerable. (Photo by Omar Marques/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
