our godchildren:
Nubra and Dawa
Romping around, eating and sleeping: That's what Nubra and Dawa, the two youngest snow leopards from the Krefeld Zoo, have on their daily agenda. TUNDRA supports the raising of big cat babies through sponsorship.
On Monday, July 11, 2022, snow leopard mom Dari gave birth to the two kittens behind the scenes at the zoo. Since then, the two girls have been running around the zoo's spacious enclosure, growing and successfully practicing climbing, jumping and catching - always under the watchful eye of mom Dari. Despite their fluffy appearance and blue eyes, the snow leopards can be easily distinguished from each other: Nubra's fur is darker, Dawa's fur is lighter.
successful breeding in Krefeld
We are very pleased that we can support the two now young big cats with a sponsorship and would also like to draw attention to the threat to snow leopards in the wild.
The Krefeld Zoo looks back on a successful breeding history: For snow leopard dad Patan and mom Dari, this is the fourth litter to see the light of day in Krefeld. The couple continues a long series of successful breeding of the highly endangered mountain dwellers, which began with the first litter in 1966. A sensation, because until then in Europe only the zoo in Helsinki had achieved breeding success. With Nubra and Dawa, snow leopard breeding is entering its seventh generation.
Endangered Spirits of the Himalayas
The big cats are threatened with extinction in the wild: it is estimated that only around 7,000 animals still live in the mountain ranges of Central Asia. Their habitat covers twelve countries, which makes collective protection through different legislation extremely difficult. An estimated 450 snow leopards are killed each year through illegal hunting and sold on the black market. Climate change also threatens the lives of high mountain dwellers: Rising temperatures have made around a third of the original habitat uninhabitable over the past twenty years.
That’s what our commitment does
The Krefeld Zoo supports the protection of the animals with donations to the Snow Leopard Trust.
The organization sets up protected areas and informs village communities about snow leopards. We are happy that we can contribute to the protection of snow leopards with our donation. With the help of our contribution, the animals' enclosures will also be expanded, for example. The voluntary association Zoofreunde Krefeld e. V. manages the sponsorships and has been committed to the zoo's animals for more than 50 years.
