The lack of snow leopards telemetry studies in China has hampered researchers studying the movement ecology and home range sizes leopards, knowledge gap which affected effective planning improvement leopard protected areas China. In 2021, we conducted China's first satellite-tracking project Qilianshan National Park, China, one most representative mountain habitat. outcomes research aims to apply gained understanding on enhance management area. Here summarize preliminary results three satellite-tracked were followed between 3 6 months yielding a total 7845 GPS locations. Using 95% MCP, KDE, aLoCoH, estimates tracked individuals ranged from 106 872 km2, 92 – 783 47 − 261 respectively. Our provide marks need for further Park by implicating potential new aspects how age, gender habitat may contribute range.
