There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Last year the famous Tau Sheri (Kazakhstan’s last leopard) was found dead. Recently though, I just found out that in 2007 and in 2015 as well there were 2 other leopards who were found dead in Kazakhstan. This map shows where they were found (the 2018 sighting was Tau Sheri being caught in a camera trap for the first time).

Tau Sheri’s death was really saddening since he was considered the last leopard in Kazakhstan. Hopefully there will be more leopards in Kazakhstan in the future
