Check out exciting new footage from our snow leopard study area in Mongolia’s South Gobi district.
The Snow Leopard Trust has been conducting a ground-breaking long-term study into the ecology and behavior of the endangered snow leopard in Mongolia’s South Gobi region since 2008. Remote-sensor research cameras are a key research tool used in this study. They allow scientists to estimate snow leopard populations and monitor how the cats are doing.
As a nice side effect, the cameras also provide unprecedented footage of these famously elusive cats – and we’re proud and happy to share this footage with you.
