Sarmad Shafa Snow Leopard Sanctuary
Naltar Wildlife Sanctuary was created on 22 November 1975. It occupies an area of 27,206 hectares (67,230 acres) and adjoins two other protected areas, Sher Quillah Game Reserve and Pakora Game Reserve, the total area of all three being over 50,000 hectares (120,000 acres). The sanctuary extends from the valley bottom up to 5,900 m (19,400 ft) at Shanni Glacier. The Snow Leopard Rehabilitation & Quarantine Center was inaugurated on November 03, 2016. The Snow Leopard Foundation (SLF) Pakistan established a world-class Rehabilitation & Quarantine Center at Naltar Valley of Gilgit-Baltistan to rehabilitate a bereft snow leopard captured in the periphery of Khunjerab National Park (KNP) on December 30, 2012. This orphaned cub endured four and half years of her life in a small enclosure set alongside the highway at the entrance of KNP in a stressful condition before shifting to her new home at Naltar on October 02, 2016.
