Abstract: Between November 2013 and March 2016, infrared-triggered camera were installed in 27 different loci in Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan, China. Among them, 10 cameras photographed snow leopards successfully. Based on these 10 loci and MaxEnt model, the snow leopard distribution map was developed in Wolong. The area of available habitat was 345 km², covering 12% of the total area. 279 km² (81%) of the suitable habitat were located in the core area, 15% in the buffer area, and only 5% in the experimental area. The main factors influencing the habitat selection by snow leopards include the vegetation form, the average annual temperature and aspect of the habitat. Snow leopards in Wolong preferred the sunny slope at an annual temperature of -8℃~0℃. The favorite landcover type is meadow. The studies provided the basic data for the protection of suitable habitats.
