This original was painted for the International Snow Leopard Trust to help human life and wildlife in the Himalayas work out plans for community projects involving low impact economic development and wildlife protection since herdsmen of the Himalayas would most likely kill the snow leopard for its pelt, which can bring in 50 times the yearly wage of a tribesman. The Trust is working in many Himalayan countries with the ethnic groups and there have been some promising successes.
