I never said it was endangered because of climate change.

but your reasoning for its improved state doesn't factor what's causiing it's demise ... so, in the end your theory is not gonna hold true ...

It's not "my" theory, but it makes sense to me. See post #21.

It's the exact opposite situation as the great barrier reef. As prey animals go, so do their predators. I'm sure you know about the food chain. So, conversely, as prey animals thrive it offers the opportunity for predators to thrive as well. I'm not saying the snow leopard will be off the endangered list next Thursday. I didn't say there's a 100% recovery on the horizon. All I'm saying is the species (along with others) has renewed hope. Renewed hope. A fighting chance. That's all. Of course there will still be poachers and farmers and human impact on their habitat and whatever else is causing their demise, but you can't deny that the bigger the snow leopard population, the better chance they have.

Sheesh!
