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.

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 ...

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...

    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

    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!
