Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia)

[Spalea]

Behzad J.Larry : " Incredibly thankful to our hardworking team for an absolutely ground-breaking snow leopard season here in Ladakh, India.

Our spotters, the very best in the world, tracked 30 snow leopards in 34 days of tracking. Each morning, they rose at dawn in temperatures below -15°C and looked through our @swarovskioptik_nature BTX 95 scopes to search for one of the most elusive big cats on earth.
Our camp staff kept guests warm, well fed, and in great spirits. We were fortunate to see a mother and her two cubs 4 times!
The contagion of coronavirus has cut short our season, with travel bans affecting many regions. Thanks to the brilliant conservation work our team and partners will continue to do, these beautiful cats will still be around for when our guests return to search for them in 2021.
This year, we bring our unique style of mixing conservation with ecotourism to new reserves in snow leopard habitats beyond India. Critical dollars pouring into frontline communities are essential for saving the snow leopard and its habitat.
We look forward to welcoming you on snow leopard expeditions later this year and in 2021. Till then, wash your hands, keep distance, and look out for some snow leopard cub action as we process our videos. "
