The Pamirs, known as the ‘Roof of the World’, are one of the key mountain ranges of Central Asia and are home to Tajikistan’s globally significant snow leopard population.
FFI is working to bring together local communities, hunting agencies, the state conservation sector and the military on the Tajik side of the Pamir mountain range in a programme to help conserve the regions’ biodiversity.
The project aims to secure vital snow leopard habitat and offer further hope to all the species found in the breathtaking Pamir landscape, including Marco-Polo sheep and the Barheaded (Indian) Goose.
What an amazing moment it was when came upon this young male leopard, obviously sated from a fresh kill. In the early morning dawn he just sat near the side of the road and looked at us for about 20 minutes while we clicked away! Then, imagine our suprise as we got a bonus as another young male come up and joined him before walking off and having a bit of a play tussle! The memory is ingrained in my brain! It was soooo COOL!

This picture was taken at Edinburgh zoo recently.
The poor leopard was obviously unhappy and in some distress as witnessed by his constant pacing backwards and forwards in his enclosure.
I thought the conversion to g/s may help to put across the mournful look in the beautiful leopards eyes.
