Warmer temperatures are threatening to shrink the habitat of the snow leopard and weaken their struggle against extinction, a report says.
Conservation charity WWF says more than a third of the animal's mountain living areas could become uninhabitable because of climate change.
It says plants and trees there are not able to survive in warmer temperatures.
The report describes snow leopards as one of the most beautiful and enigmatic big cats.
"But it is also one of the most elusive and endangered," it says.
