Snow leopard (Panthera unica) is a felid which lives in the highly rugged areas of alpine regions in different mountain ranges of South and Central Asia. This solitary animal needs large spaces for its ranges but due to climate change and relatively faster rate of global warming in South Asian mountain ranges, its habitat is going to shrink and fragment by tree-line shifts and change in hydrology of the area. Vegetative modification of montane flora and competition with domestic goats will create its prey’s population to decline along with a chance of a direct conflict and competition with the common leopard. Common leopard being more adaptable, grouped, and larger in size can be a significant stressor for a smaller and solitary snow leopard. Habitat would shrink, and snow leopard can possibly move upslope or northward to central Asian ranges and their predicted migratory patterns are unknown.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading cause of blindness worldwide and laser therapy has a basic role in the control of diabetic retinopathy. Green laser therapies are performed both for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. The aim of our study was to determine the frequencies of different stages of diabetic retinopathy in patients undergoing laser in our setup. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the department of Ophthalmology, Gomal Medical College, D.I.Khan, Pakistan from January 2015 to December 2019.The sample consisted of all the diabetic patients undergoing green laser procedures during this period at Eye Unit, DHQ Teaching Hospital D.I.Khan Pakistan. Results: Out of a total of 1,893 green laser procedures performed for diabetic patients from January 2015 to December 2019, 1,011 were male and 882 were female. 969 (51.1%) patients were having relatively early stages of DR, 676 (35.7) patients had advanced DR and 248 (13.1%) had diabetic macular edema (DME). Conclusion: Laser therapy is frequently needed for the control of diabetic eye disease so keeping in mind the disease burden the laser facilities should be expanded in our setup.
