A few weeks ago, Kuban Jumabai uulu, our Kyrgyzstan Program Director, traveled to Sarychat-Ertash Reserve to collect research cameras deployed earlier this year. The pictures he found on these cameras offer breathtaking glimpses into the secretive world of one of the world’s rarest cats, the elusive snow leopard!
During the trip, Kuban also trained five rangers from Kyrgyzstan’s Chon-Kemin National Park on snow leopard sign identification and the basics of camera trapping to empower them to conduct snow leopard surveys on their own.
Joining them were Udayan Rao Pawar, a young Indian photographer who was named Wildlife Photographer of the year in 2013 by BBC, and Ilya Domashov, a field researchers with the Global Snow Leopard & Ecosystem Program secretariat.
