"The Kazan resolution has been prepared, which initiates the development of a new program for a new historical period. <...> Today, within the framework of the conference, we solemnly adopt the Kazan resolution," Petrova said during the conference.

When preparing the document, the experts took into account all the nuances of the issue and modern historical realities. In addition, according to the director, the development of the document was initiated by the head of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov.

Murad Kerimov, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of Russia, said that the program also highlights conservation measures for these animals. We are talking about creating new and favorable territories for the development of this species.

The previous animal rescue program and the Bishkek Declaration were adopted in 2013.

The international conference "Study and conservation of the snow leopard in the world. Joining forces." For the first time, 180 leading experts from 12 countries of the snow leopard range gathered to discuss how to protect this rare and little-studied wildcat. Kazan was chosen as the venue for the conference for a reason: the republic pays great attention to the work aimed at preserving its symbol in the wild.
