🐾Happy #SnowLeopardDay!❄️
#DYK that unlike other big cats – such as lions & tigers – snow leopards cannot roar?
They are agile & superb jumpers, that can pounce on prey up to 15m away!
Their thick tails are used for balance & can be wrapped around their bodies for warmth

As the concern for #Nature rises on the global agenda, investors and businesses are taking #biodiversity seriously, due to a decisive "reputational risk"
For example, over-fishing or illegal practices are now seen as too risky by some corporations

Project #Puffin was the "world's 1st successful #restoration of a seabird [population] to an island where humans had killed it off"
Conservationists brought species from Canada, hand-fed & hoped for return
Now 1300 pairs live across the islands of Maine!
