Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions her Department has had with foreign governments on UK support for efforts to ensure the survival of the snow leopard in the wild.

Defra has had no discussions with foreign governments on UK support for efforts to ensure the survival of the snow leopard in the wild. However, we have funded projects through the Darwin Initiative that have benefitted Asian big cats including the snow leopard.
