"Ghosts of the Mountains”: Wienerberger help create Himalayan habitat for Chester Zoo’s snow leopards. 🐆 ❄️ In partnership with the globally recognised Chester Zoo, Wienerberger has played a critical role in a significant conservation effort: creating a new habitat for one of the planet's most elusive and majestic creatures, the snow leopard. Chester Zoo recently welcomed Yashin and Nubra, a pair of playful and inquisitive 18-month-old leopards, who have been carefully matched as part of a vital conservation breeding programme, with the hope that one day they will have cubs of their own. They've already hit it off in their stunning new Himalayan habitat, after leaving Krefeld Zoo in Germany and Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland respectively.
