News spread on social networks that a rare species of snow leopard was shot and killed in Hisar State Reserve, Kashkadarya region. Officials of the Ministry of Natural Resources studied the situation.
During their research, it was uncovered that the information that was spreading on social networks was incorrect and in fact, no snow leopard had been hunted or killed in the Hisar State Reserve.
