Wildlife Initiative
Добавлен 22 фев 2021
Wildlife Initiative RUclips Channel aims to showcase all wildlife species encountered during our research and conservation projects across the planet. We will guide you through a series of videos focusing on the behaviours of some of the least known species on earth! We will guide you through our expeditions from many among the remotest places on the planet, spanning from the arid Mongolian lands to the lush forests of Central Africa and South America. Above all, we will discuss the threats affecting wildlife in our study areas, and explain how conservation efforts can represent a win-win solution, both for wildlife and humans. We wish you a pleasant journey through our channel!
Preserving the rare snow leopard amidst mining and herder conflicts!
Wildlife Initiative is making a huge effort to safeguard the snow leopard in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia, where an ecological corridor is threatened by mining and heavy livestock presence. Mining activities have a significant impact on the habitat and the entire wildlife community surrounding snow leopards. Snow leopards prey on livestock and as a result, herders often resort to retaliatory killing. Subscribe to our RUclips channel to see our latest progress and other activities implemented by Wildlife Initiative.

Mitigating Human-Elephant Conflict in the Atlantic Rainforest of Congo
Просмотров 750Год назад
The forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is critically endangered according to the IUCN Red List. It risks disappearing from the Atlantic Forest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located in the Lukula territory. Due to the reduction of its habitat, it visits farmlands, devastating them. This inevitably leads to a conflict that is bound to cause the species to disappear from this stretch ...

Central Asia is home to some of the largest ungulate species on earth. In the steppe of central Mongolia, sparse rocky outcrops and few mountains are inhabited by three large ungulates: the Argali sheep (Ovis ammon), the Wapiti deer (Cervus canadensis) and the Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica). The weight of these species can be two to five times greater than that of their European relatives. Find...

This constant movement has the function of reducing the likelihood to become a meal for wolves, snow leopa...

Steppe eagle looking for prey
Просмотров 6023 года назад
An abandoned enclosure in summer is a good foothold for steppe eagles. Here they can easily spot, and prey on, the numerous rodents that roam nearby. The steppe eagle is extremely adapted to the environment from which it got its name. In fact, in addition to being particularly specialized in hunting ground squirrels and other rodents, it is the only species of eagle that nests mainly on the gro...

Diaries from the steppe. Today we present to you another charismatic species. The Mongolian Gazelle. The steppe would not be the same without the numerous gazelles we see along the way to reach our field. There is nothing more fascinating than enjoying a sunset outside our ger, and watching these animals migrate freely from one area to another, in search of new pastures. - shooted by: Giacomo D...

Siberian Ibex in Altai Mountains, Mongolia
Unfortunately snow leopards can't roar at all unlike other big cats like tigers and lions that can roar.
Save the manuls! ❤
Roar here: 0:21
They were not included with the 4 pantheras because they couldn’t roar….. but this sounds like a roar to me. Maybe they had a meeting and decided to start practicing how to roar in order to be included in the elite big cat club
Fun fact: snow leopard actually can’t roar. So I’m guessing he was chuffing
Pretty sure that’s a growl and a chuff
Tai Lung is mad MonkaW
Fabulous sheep! 👍👍
0:03 Wait a minute, who are you? 🤣
That's not roaring, it's just growling...
La luz fuerte le debe molestar en los ojos.
The smallest of the pantherine cats, unless I'm mistaken.
So beautiful!!!!
I dig his cave.
Leaked footage of Tai Lung in the Spirit Realm (besides when Kai took his chi or Chameleon summoned him)
More of a growl than a roar but still nice
He knew the camera was there . He just didnt know what a camera was.
Now u seen a ghost.
That's a truly majestic big cat. Beautiful 😍
😂 the kitty seems to say.. I can see your gadget, you think you are clever you humans? Besides, are you FBI spying on me? I need privacy, get off my ... Cave!😾
What a rare beauty of a snow leopard and it's species must be protected for future generations to come
Not a roar ,just a. Grumble . Very different ,was talking to you . .
give himsome goddamn privacy
Isn't it cold in Siberia
It gets to 35+ degrees in the summer so no
beautiful animal
Omg poor Pallas cat!
Який гарний кiт
Take care of them, friends, take care of everyone, forests and rivers and oceans, who will save nature from pollution and our brothers from extinction, only us or our absence on Earth, which is better, choose
I was expecting it to sound pathetic like a mountain lion 😂
I hope to pet one in heaven?!
These chonkers are so adorable
Ngl this is accurate to Tai Lung roar when he was fighting Po Just a bit more angry
They cant roar butt they can growl or yowl the grow in kungu panda was a tiger or leopard growl butt a snow leopard is not a really leopard it's more related to tigerw it's closest cousin even they they don't look all alike
♥️
Wow absolutely beautiful, the area of the world gets the least credit and to me is one of the best. The Apes, Rockies, Atlas, etc; don't give you the sense of exploration you want because you know th extent that they have been explored. But this region area is my dream place to go. Keep the footage up- great work!
Agreed, these distant mountain ranges are so untouched by human encroachment and development that they still feel like an adventure.
Thank you for your job on snow leopard and locals in such a remote area!
I’m snow leopards are my favorite their bad ass and gorgeous they are the perfect predator the way the hunt on the mountain cliffs short stronger legs extra long tale for balance also they got it hard fallen 50/200 feet off a cliff there’s one video of one hunting he jumps off the edge of the cliff can’t remember exactly how put it fell at least 100 ft hitting solid rock it for back up and walked it off probably broke a rob or two all cat take pain very well even domestic cats pretty much all cats the clouded leopard ocelots tigers jaguars
Gran trabajo, lo que hacen es impresionante, no solo por lo que hacen allá, también por lo que hacen en Guatemala 🇬🇹 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Some great video-doc is going to be ready at early 2024, about Guatemala. Thanks to mention about it!
Amazing video!!!
Great job!
Gripping video!!
Amazing footage looking forward to seeing more
Human-elephant conflict is a key issue that needs to be solved!
urgent actions are needed!
Did he notices the camera?
Call me crazy, but snow leopards have the creepiest roar of all big cats.
Tai lung looking sick af
What a cutie
Fun fact, if you slow down the vocalizations of a snow leopard, they start sounding eerily similar to a tiger's, their closest relatives.
If you increase the pitch of a tiger's call, it sounds EXACTLY like a house cat.
Must. Pet.
Don't mess with cats!
