Subject: Save snow leopards

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing because I am very worried about the snow leopards. They live in cold
mountains and due to global warming, their population has sharply dropped. There are only
4080-6590 snow leopards living in the wild now.
One of the biggest problems is poaching. People kill snow leopards for their glamorous fur
to make fur coats. They are also losing their habitats because there are too many cattle grazing
areas. Finally, farmers are slaying them to protect their livestock. We have been unreasonably
exploiting the snow leopards.
Conservation groups want WWF to build more sanctuaries deep in the mountains because
farmers may kill them. They also want WWF to educate farmers to build safer pens for their
livestock instead of killing the poor snow leopards. Please help save the snow leopards!
Regards,
Cyrus Chan
